Samuel Gerrard (1767 – March 24, 1857) was a Canadian fur trader, businessman, militia officer, justice of the peace, politician, and seigneur.

[1] Gerrard was born in Ireland at Gibbstown House, County Meath.

The Gerrards were a prosperous Anglo-Irish family who had held Gibbstown, an estate of some 1,270 acres, since the mid 17th century, and previous to that were seated at nearby Clongill Castle.

[5] Samuel was probably a younger brother of the John Gerrard (d.1838) who was High Sheriff of Meath in 1818.

By 1785, at the age of eighteen, Samuel Gerrard was established at Montreal as a merchant concerned with the fur trade from Timiskaming.
