Gérald Godin (November 13, 1938 – October 12, 1994) was a Canadian poet and politician from Quebec.
His most important poetry collection, Les cantouques: poèmes en langue verte, populaire et quelquefois française, was published in 1967.
In the 1976 Quebec provincial election, he won a seat as a candidate for the Parti Québécois, heavily defeating incumbent Premier Robert Bourassa in his own riding of Mercier.
As a poet, he won the Prix Québec-Paris for his 1987 work Ils ne demandaient qu'à brûler.
