Teresa Gerrit (born 1978) is a Brunanter politician and leader of the Brunant Conservatives. Gerrit was appointed leader by Sofia Andersen following her shock resignation ahead of the 2019 general election.

Biography
Her father Johan (1923-1995) was a commander in the National Police, and during the height of Barzona Libre's violence in the 1970s was considered a high-value target for the group. Gerrit told media in late 2018 how she had a bodyguard drive her and her brother to and from school in the early 1980s.

She studied architectural drawing at Roodstad College in the late 1990s, and at the same time joined the Christian Democratic Union youth group. She joined the Free Liberal Party around 2001, as she was by then "clearly an atheist". She became one of the first ten members of the Brunant Conservatives when it was founded.
