Gérald R. Tremblay, CM, OQ (born 1944) is a Canadian lawyer practising law in the province of Quebec.

Born in Jonquière, Quebec, he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1964 from the Université Laval and his law degree from the University of Ottawa in 1967. He was admitted to the Bar of Quebec in 1968. He was created a Queen's Counsel in 1987.

He is a partner in the law firm McCarthy Tétrault LLP.

Gerarld Tremblay started his private law practice with Stikeman Elliott in Montreal and then joined his current firm. He spent the early part of his career in representing the federal government in major cases.

He is considered the most brilliant litigator in court, from civil court to the Supreme Court.

Many of the most important litigations in the last 30 years included his participation in one capacity or another. Tremblay is the most consummate courtroom actor and now as a batonnier of Quebec.

He is recognized by his peers as the leading lawyer in Quebec. Pro bonno cases have been fought as they were the most lucrative for him and Tremblay is a lawyers' lawyer. The human touch of Tremblay is his bon vivant joie de vivre that is expressed daily and makes him a one-of-a-kind lawyer.

He, unbeknown to many, played a very important role in international relations striking resolutions to world crises. He is one of the very few private lawyers who made a federal where this silk honour is no longer bestowed in the provinces.

In 2003, he was made a Member of the Order of Canada in recognition of being "considered an authority on litigation both in Canada and internationally". In 2005, he was made an Officer of the National Order of Quebec.
