Gearld Lewis Wright (February 22, 1933 – July 25, 2002) was an American politician who served as the fifth mayor of West Valley City, Utah from 1994 to 2002.

He graduated from South High School and Brigham Young University, was married to Lila Lynn Florence, and was the father of six.

He was reelected in 1997 overwhelmingly over F. Kenneth Olafson by a three-to-one margin, becoming the first mayor in West Valley City history to be elected to two full terms.

Mayor Wright embraced the city's diversity, guided the city as a venue city during the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, and oversaw the development of the E Center, Hale Centre Theatre, Family Fitness Center, and the beginnings of what would become the Utah Cultural Celebration Center.

Gearld L. Wright Elementary School in West Valley City was named after the former educator and city official in 2005,[4] as was the "Gearld Wright Classic" girls fastpitch softball tournament (held June 30 – July 2 at the West Valley Family Fitness Center Softball Complex) in 2011.
