Gerald George Snyder (July 21, 1929 – January 31, 2022) was an American infielder in Major League Baseball who played his entire career for the Washington Senators from 1952 to 1958.

Signed by the New York Yankees' scout Tom Greenwade in 1947,[1] he played for their farm teams during five minor league seasons.

He was still a member of the Triple-A Kansas City Blues when he was traded to Washington on May 3, 1952, along with Jackie Jensen, Spec Shea and Archie Wilson in the same transaction that brought Irv Noren and Tom Upton to the Yankees.

While in Washington, Snyder provided infield support for Pete Runnels, Herb Plews and Eddie Yost, playing mainly at shortstop.

He played 15 professional seasons, through 1961, and spent part of his final campaign as player-manager of the Macon Peaches of the Double-A Southern Association.
