Gerson Rodrigues Correia Leal (born 20 June 1995) is a professional footballer who plays as a forward for Primeira Liga club AVS, on loan from Ukrainian side Dynamo Kyiv. Born in Portugal, he plays for the Luxembourg national team.
A goalscoring midfielder, Rodrigues is the first Luxembourgish footballer to play in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. He is currently the all-time leading goalscorer for the Luxembourg national team.
Rodrigues was convicted of three counts of assault and battery on 26 March 2025, one of which involved domestic violence against his former partner. He received an 18-month suspended prison sentence, a fine of €1,500, and had to pay €2,430 in damages to his ex-partner. He continues to play for the Luxembourg national team, a move which has outraged female politicians and female rights groups.
