Bertrand Wesley "Bud" Gearhart (May 31, 1890 – October 11, 1955) was an American lawyer and politician.

Gearhart, a Republican, served seven terms as the United States representative for California's 9th congressional district from 1935 to 1949.

[1] Gearhart was admitted to the California state bar the previous year, and had commenced his law practice in Fresno.

Democratic incumbent Denver S. Church was not a candidate for renomination in 1934, and so Gearhart ran unopposed in the election.

[15] After losing the election, Gearhart went back to Fresno to resume his law practice until his death.
