Gerald Leslie Brockhurst (1890 –1978) was a British painter and etcher.
During the 1930s and 1940s he was celebrated as a portraitist, painting society figures such as Marlene Dietrich and the Duchess of Windsor.

Today he is best known for his small etched prints of beautiful, idealized women – many of them modelled by his first and second wives.

In August 1939 Brockhurst moved to the United States. In New York City, Brockhurst became both famous and rich with a series of society portraits but his printmaking output diminished, especially his etchings. He produced a few lithographs at the end of his career (around 1945).
