Apamea gabrieli is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It was described in 2000 from a specimen collected in the San Gabriel Mountains near Big Pines in Los Angeles County, California. It is not named for the mountains themselves, but for their eponym, Gabriel.[1] It is also known from the San Bernardino Mountains.[1]
The wingspan is up to 48.5 millimeters. The forewings are brownish red and the hindwings are buff.[1]
