Gabriel Barbosa Almeida (born 30 August 1996), commonly known as Gabigol or Gabi, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a striker for Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club Santos, on loan from Cruzeiro.

A graduate of the Santos academy, Gabriel made his professional debut at the age of 16 and made over 200 appearances for the club across all competitions. Playing for Flamengo since 2019, he quickly became a fan favourite after scoring twice in the dying minutes of the 2019 Copa Libertadores final, and then scoring the only goal of the 2022 final. After six seasons with Flamengo, he joined fellow Brazilian club Cruzeiro.
