Gerald Burton Winrod (March 7, 1900 – November 11, 1957) was an American evangelist, author, and political activist.
Winrod was a promoter of Christian Identity, with an impact on the early adoption of Identity by Wesley Swift. He was known to have strongly antisemitic views, which, along with his sympathies towards Nazi Germany in the 1930s, earned him the nickname "the Jayhawk Nazi".
During World War II, Winrod was charged with sedition. The charges were later dropped.
