Gradient Descent is an algorithm for finding the minimum of a function. It iteratively calculates partial derivatives (gradients) of the function and descends in steps proportional to those partial derivatives. One major application of Gradient Descent is fitting a parameterized model to a set of data: the function to be minimized is an error function for the model.
