Gerry Ethridge Gomez (10 October, 1919 - 6 August, 1996) was a West Indian cricketer who played 29 Tests for the West Indies between 1939 and 1954, scoring 1,243 runs and taking 58 wickets. He captained in one match for the West Indies when England toured in 1947/8.

Gomez was born in Port of Spain, Trinidad. During his career at the domestic level, he was an all-rounder of good standard, playing 126 matches and scoring runs at a batting average of nearly 45, in addition to taking 200 wickets at an average just above 25 with his medium pace. He remained involved with cricket, as manager and administrator, and also served as an umpire in a Test match in 1965 when the appointed umpire, Cecil Kippins, pulled out on the day before the match. Gomez also played football for Trinidad, and both his father and his son played first class cricket.
