Gérard Hoarau (7 December 1950 – 29 November 1985) was Seychellois opposition politician who led the Movement for the Resistance (Mouvement pour la Résistance, MPR), a London-based exile group that sought the peaceful overthrow of France-Albert René, who had come to power on 5 June 1977 in a coup d'état.

Hoarau was assassinated on 29 November 1985 by an unidentified gunman on the doorstep of his home in Edgware, in North London.
