Gilberto Jerónimo Yearwood (born 15 March 1956) is a retired Honduran football player who currently is an Assistant coach of the varsity team of the El Salvador national football team. He is by many regarded as one of Honduras' best players of all time.

Nicknamed el Vikingo (The Viking), Yearwood has played mostly in defensive midfield and started his career at Real España in his native country. In 1977 he moved abroad to play in Spain and spent 10 season playing for Elche CF, Real Valladolid, CD Tenerife and Celta de Vigo.

He scored 20 goals in Liga Nacional: 10 with Real España, 6 with Motagua and 4 for Olimpia.

Yearwood played and scored at the 1977 FIFA World Youth Championship, the inaugural staging of the FIFA World Youth Championship held in Tunisia. He made his senior debut for Honduras in a June 1982 FIFA World Cup match against Spain, which was his country's first ever World Cup match, and has earned a total of at least 46 caps, scoring 1 goal.
