Gerard Heinz (born Gerhard Hinze; 2 January 1904 – 20 November 1972) was a German actor.

Heinz was born in Hamburg, Germany and later moved to Britain, where he changed his name. He appeared in almost 60 films (including Caravan), and a number of stage productions. In the original 1942 production of Terence Rattigan's Flare Path, he played Count Skriczevinsky, a Polish pilot serving with the RAF in World War II.[1]

A relationship with Joan Rodker, daughter of the modernist poet John Rodker, resulted in the birth of a son, Ernest, in Odessa in 1937.[2] After their separation, Heinz married the actress Mary Kenton. They played respectively Mr. and Mrs. Serafin in the 1961 episode "Washday S.O.S." of the TV series "The Cheaters".[3] They also performed together in the 1964 film "The Sullavan Brothers",[4] and in the ITC crime drama series, "The Four Just Men",[5] and a number of other films.
