Gabe Gala (born June 29, 1989 as Gala Gabriel Gala) is a Canadian professional soccer player who plays for North Mississauga SC.

Gala moved from his native Nigeria to Brampton, Ontario as a young child. He played club soccer for the Brampton East club, and his high school C.W. Jeffreys.

Gala joined Toronto FC as a development player in 2007, and played extensively in the MLS Reserve Division prior to him making his professional debut on June 2, 2007, when he came on as a substitute against the Colorado Rapids. He scored his first goal for the Toronto FC first-team in an international friendly against Real Madrid on August 7, 2009. After making 15 appearances for Toronto in the 2010 season he was waived by the club on November 24 following the 2010 MLS Expansion Draft.

In 2011, he signed with newly expansion Mississauga Eagles FC of the Canadian Soccer League. He took two years of a sabbatical from soccer, and later returned in 2014 to sign with North York Astros. During his tenure with North York he helped the club secure a postseason berth by finishing fourth in the postseason. After the departure of North York from the CSL he signed with expansion franchise Scarborough SC.

Gala made his debut for the Canada's U-20 team on May 19, 2006 against Brazil, and made his first start against the United States on July 9, 2006. He was also a member of Canada's U20 side for the 2007 U20 World Cup.
