Gerald Burton Winrod (March 7, 1900 – November 11, 1957) was an American evangelist, author, and political activist.

He believed Franklin D. Roosevelt was a "devil" linked with the Jewish-Communist conspiracy and that Hitler would save Europe from Communism.

What the Cause of Christ has endured in Russia the past eighteen years, surpasses its suffering at the hands of bloody Nero.

He expanded upon these views, stating the following: Will the Church be able to demonstrate sufficient power to triumph over its foes in the present crisis, or has it become so weakened by apostasy and pernicious teachings that it will have to be drenched in its own blood before it can be brought to its senses?

Winrod ran for a seat in the U.S. Senate during the 1938 elections, but was defeated in the Republican primary when a popular former governor Clyde M. Reed was lured from retirement by the party establishment to run against him.

[10] Winrod developed a strong following among German-speaking Kansas Mennonites who identified with his religious, anti-World War II, and pro-Germany views.

[citation needed] Winrod, a lifelong proponent of faith healing who refused to see a physician, died of pneumonia on November 11, 1957, in Wichita, Kansas.
