Gerard (died 21 May 1108) was Archbishop of York (1100–1108) and Lord Chancellor of England (1085–1092). A Norman, he was a member of the cathedral clergy at Rouen before becoming a royal clerk under King William I of England and his son King William II Rufus. William I named him Chancellor, and he continued in that office under Rufus. Rufus rewarded him by naming him Bishop of Hereford in 1096. Possibly he was with the king's hunting party when the king was killed, and Gerard certainly witnessed the first charter issued by the new king, Henry I of England.
