Gerardo Esquivel Butrón (born 1966-01-13 in Mexico City) is a retired Mexican football midfielder.

A longtime member of Necaxa, Esquivel spent twelve years with the club, including its highly successful period in the mid-1990s.^[1] Normally a holding midfielder, Esquivel also had the versatility to play in the defensive line. His work freed colleagues Alex Aguinaga and Alberto García Aspe to conduct the offensive maneuvers in midfield. Esquivel won three championships, in 1995, 1996, and the Invierno 1998 season, during his time at Necaxa. He spent his last season at the top level with Puebla.^[1]

Esquivel obtained a total of four caps for the Mexican national team between 1988 and 1995, and was a squad member at the 1995 Copa América.^[2] He made his debut in a friendly match against El Salvador on March 29, 1988, a heavy 8-0 victory for Mexico.^[3] Esquivel did not return to the national team for seven years, when he earned a recall based on his title-winning season at Necaxa. His final cap came in a 4-0 loss to the United States on June 18, 1995 in the U.S. Cup at RFK Stadium in Washington.^[4]
