Harry W. Gerstad (June 11, 1909 - July 17, 2002) was a film editor who sometimes directed films. The Academy Award-winning editor also worked on television. He edited as well as directed for the 1950s program Adventures of Superman. In the 1960s he worked for Bing Crosby productions and Batjac Productions. Gerstad retired to Palm Springs, Florida in 1973.

Gerstad's editing work spanned more than 40 films, including The Spiral Staircase (1946), Crossfire (1947), Rocketship X-M (1950), Batman (1966), The War Wagon (1967) and Walking Tall (1973).

He won the Academy Award for Film Editing (the "Oscar") twice: for the boxing drama Champion in 1949 and for Fred Zinnemann's seminal Western High Noon in 1952. In 1997, he received the American Cinema Editors Career Achievement Award.[1]
