Gérard Girouard (born March 27, 1933 in Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec - d. May 22, 2017) was a member of the House of Commons of Canada. He was a lawyer and professor of law by career.[1]

The son of Joseph Girouard and Marie Roy, he was educated at the Séminaire de Mont-Laurier and the University of Ottawa, and practised law in Mont-Laurier.[2] He was first elected at the Labelle riding in the 1963 general election as a Social Credit party candidate.

After completing his term in the 26th Canadian Parliament, Girouard was defeated in the 1965 federal election at the Hull riding by Alexis Caron.[1]
