Gabriel Francisco García de la Torre (born 10 February 1979), known as Gabri, is a Spanish retired footballer. Mainly a midfielder who could play in the right or the middle, he could also appear as an attacking right back, tackling and passing skills being his main assets.

He spent seven years of his professional career with Barcelona (13 counting youth teams), winning four major titles but appearing almost exclusively as a backup. He also played four years with Ajax.

Gabri represented Spain at Euro 2004.

Born in Sallent de Llobregat, Barcelona, Catalonia, Gabri started his professional career at FC Barcelona's B-team, where he made his first appearances in the 1997–98 season with the club in Segunda División B. He scored four goals in 28 games en route to promotion.

He was promoted to the main squad for the 1999–2000 campaign and, in the following four years, was a first-team regular but, subsequently and during the team's conquests in 2005–06 (for an eventual total of two La Liga championships, one Spanish Supercup and 2005–06's UEFA Champions League), would feature less significantly; he was also severely injured during the 2004–05 season, after a 4–1 home win against Real Zaragoza.
