Jerrod Laventure (born January 15, 1983 in Middle Island, New York) is a Haitian-American soccer player, who currently plays forward (striker) for Red Bull New York of Major League Soccer.

Laventure played college soccer at Seton Hall University, where in four seasons he scored 14 goals and assisted on 12. After his senior season he was invited to the 2005 MLS Player Combine which led to him joining the MetroStars reserve team.

On April 12, 2006 he signed a developmental contract with Red Bull New York. He made his MLS debut July 8, 2006 as a substitute against FC Dallas. He scored his first MLS goal July 19, 2006 with a spectacular 30-yard chip over Columbus Crew goalkeeper Noah Palmer. Laventure started his first game for the Red Bulls against the Wilmington Hammerheads of the USL in the U.S. Open Cup. Later that year, he was called up to the Haitian national team.
