GABAB receptors (GABABR) are G-protein coupled receptors for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). GABAB receptors are found in the central nervous system and the autonomic division of the peripheral nervous system.

The receptors were first named in 1981 when their distribution in the CNS which was determined by Norman Bowery and his team using radioactively labelled baclofen.
