Mickaël Gelabale (born May 22, 1983) is a French professional basketball player for Le Mans Sarthe of the LNB Pro A. He also represents the France national basketball team internationally. Standing at 2.01 m (6 ft 7 in), he plays at the small forward position.

Gelabale started playing professionally with Cholet Basket, averaging 10 points and five rebounds per game in his final season (2003–04). Subsequently, he joined Real Madrid, being used in the side's rotation during two seasons (about 23 minutes per game combined).

At the end of his first season, Gelabale was selected by the Seattle SuperSonics in the second round (48th overall) of the 2005 NBA Draft, but opted to stay in the Spanish capital instead of immediately joining the NBA.

On July 12, 2006, he signed a two-year contract with the Sonics, joining Johan Petro as the second French player on the team. Barred by both Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis (in 2006–07) and rookie Kevin Durant (2007–08), Gelabale appeared sparingly for the team, also tearing his anterior cruciate ligament midway through his second year.

On March 29, 2009, he restarted playing, one year after his injury, with the Los Angeles D-Fenders in the NBA D-League.
