Gérard Latulippe (born November 5, 1944) is a Canadian diplomat and former politician, currently serving as Canada's high commissioner to Trinidad and Tobago.
Born in Montreal, he studied economics at Sir George Williams University and law at the Université de Montréal and the University of Ottawa. He worked as a lawyer.
He first ran for election to the National Assembly of Quebec in the 1981 election, as a Quebec Liberal Party candidate in Rosemont. Unsuccessful in that election, he ran in Chambly in the 1985 election, and was elected that year. He served in the cabinet of premier Robert Bourassa from 1985 to 1987 as solicitor general.
He did not run for reelection to the legislature in the 1989 provincial election, but was appointed as Quebec's provincial delegate general to Mexico. He served in that role until 1994, when he was appointed as the provincial delegate general in Brussels.
He ran as a Canadian Alliance candidate in the riding of Charlesbourg—Jacques-Cartier in the 2000 federal election, but was not elected. He also served as Quebec lieutenant to Canadian Alliance leader .
