Gabrielle Gail Stanton (born in South Orange, New Jersey) is an American television writer and producer.
She is well known for her work on the ABC series Grey's Anatomy and Ugly Betty, for The CW's The Flash, and for Syfy's Stephen King adaptation series Haven.
After attending the all-girls Kent Place School in Summit, New Jersey and graduating from the women's Barnard College in Manhattan, New York, Stanton worked as the national publicity coordinator in the New York office of the Public Broadcasting Service until 1991. In 1992 she made her way into the film industry as the assistant to writer-producer George Zaloom on the film Encino Man and later appeared in the 1998 film Free Enterprise in a minor role as the character "Gabrielle", while her then husband and writing partner Harry Werksman also appeared in the film as "Harry". It was also in 1998 that she broke into television. Her first job was on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, which she followed with writing positions on V.I.P. and the science fiction series Earth: Final Conflict, Farscape, The Invisible Man and Veritas: The Quest, in the latter two of which she also served as co-producer. She wrote the teleplay for the made-for-television movie Deathlands before she was hired as a writer and producer for the medical drama series Grey's Anatomy, for which she made her debut with the 2005 episodes "Who's Zoomin' Who" and "Much Too Much". Her work on Grey's Anatomy earned her a shared Primetime Emmy Award nomination with the other production crew members in the Outstanding Drama Series category and one Writers Guild of America Award and two nominations; nominations in 2006 and 2007 for Dramatic Series, and a win in 2006 in the New Series category. She moved from Grey's Anatomy to the dramedy series Ugly Betty in 2007, writing the episode "Petra-Gate" and serving as a supervising producer for eight other episodes. She and the other Ugly Betty producers were nominated in 2007 for a Primetime Emmy Award in the Outstanding Comedy Series category.
