Gourde during the 2011 federal election.

Gaston Gourde (born 17 March 1950 in Saint-Isidore, Quebec) was a Liberal party member of the House of Commons of Canada. He was a lawyer by career.

Gourde represented the Lévis, Quebec electoral district after winning a 4 May 1981 by-election. He served the latter part of the 32nd Canadian Parliament until he was defeated in 1984 federal election by Gabriel Fontaine of the Progressive Conservative party.
