Gerard López Segú (Catalan pronunciation: ; born 12 March 1979), usually known as just Gerard, is a Spanish former professional footballer, and a manager. An all-around midfielder, he was known for precision passes and ball control skills. During his career, he played for several clubs including Barcelona and Valencia, helping the latter reach the 2000 Champions League final.

Over nine seasons, Gerard amassed La Liga totals of 183 matches and 16 goals. He participated with Spain at Euro 2000.

After a spectacular 1999–00 season with Valencia, on both fronts, Gerard received his first cap for Spain on 3 June 2000, in a 1–1 friendly with Sweden in Gothenburg. He went on to play in a further five matches, being selected for UEFA Euro 2000.

In October 2013, Gerard replaced Johan Cruyff as manager of Catalonia. On 22 July 2015, he was appointed at Barcelona B after their relegation to Segunda División B.

At the end of the 2016–17 season, Gerard coached his team back to the second level. Subsequently, he renewed his contract for another year.

On 25 April 2018, with the side placed inside the relegation zone, Gerard was relieved of his duties.

Gerard's older brothers, Sergi and Julià López Segú (commonly known as Juli, born 1969), were also footballers, and defenders. The former, who also represented Barcelona, died by suicide at 39.

The latter played almost exclusively for Barça B whilst they were in the second tier, also having a brief top flight spell (13 matches) with Real Valladolid, in 1993–94.
