Gérard Deltell (born August 8, 1964) is a politician in Quebec, Canada. Deltell was the final leader of the Action démocratique du Québec (ADQ) from 2009 to the merger of the party with the Coalition Avenir Quebec (CAQ) in 2012. He was the member of the National Assembly of Quebec for the riding of Chauveau. He was the house leader of the CAQ in the National Assembly until the provincial election in April 2014 and has served as a federal MP for Louis-Saint-Laurent since October 2015.

Deltell was born and raised in Quebec City. He held party membership in the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada in the 1980s.

Deltell's parents are both Pied-Noirs born in Algeria. Deltell is a Spanish name, his father's family was settled in Algeria by 1840 and his maternal family's roots are French and Italian. His parents immigrated to Canada and settled in Montreal in 1958, but relocated later in the year to Loretteville, near Quebec City. His father, Guy, served in a Moroccan regiment of the French Army of the Second World War and was awarded the French Legion of Honour on October 26, 2011.

Deltell studied social science at Cégep de Sainte-Foy, graduating in 1984. He majored in history at Université Laval and graduated in 1989. He also received training as an announcer at the Collège des annonceurs radio télévision in 1982 and at École de radio et de télévision Promédia in 1993.
