Gerald Burton Winrod (March 7, 1900 – November 11, 1957) was an American evangelist, author, and political activist.[1]

Winrod was a promoter of Christian Identity, with an impact on the early adoption of Identity by Wesley Swift.[1] 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".[1]

During World War II, Winrod was charged with sedition. The charges were later dropped.
