Gerard Hutch (born 11 April 1963) is an Irish alleged crime boss. Known for leading a "disciplined, ascetic lifestyle" since leaving prison in 1985, he was nicknamed "The Monk" by Irish Times journalist Harry McGee. He is the reputed head of the Hutch Gang, a Dublin-based, international organised crime group. The Hutch Gang has been involved in a feud with the Kinahan Cartel, which has resulted in 18 murders.
Hutch was the prime suspect for two of the biggest armed robberies in Irish history. In April 2023, he was acquitted of planning the murder of David Byrne, who was shot dead in February 2016. Hutch unsuccessfully ran as an independent candidate in the Dublin Central constituency at the 2024 Irish general election.
