St. Gabriel's Secondary School ("SGSS" or colloquially "St. Gabs") is an all-boys Roman Catholic secondary school in Serangoon, Singapore. The school, founded in 1953, is affiliated to St. Gabriel's Primary School and Catholic Junior College and is one of 7 Gabrielite schools in Singapore. Classes are offered in the Express, Normal Academic and Normal Technical streams.

The principal of St. Gabriel's Secondary School is Mr Stephen Chin and its vice-principals are Miss Jackie Cheng and Mr Anith Kumar S/O Nadesan.

St Gabriel's School opened its doors on 3 June 1953 (costing $175,000 with a government contribution of $71,000) and stood at the junction of Hillside Drive and Upper Serangoon Road. Under the supervision of Rev Bro Louis Gonzaga (Founder) and seven pioneer teachers, the school accepted 212 pupils for its first intake, consisting of only five classes: two of Primary 1, one each of Primary 2, Standard 1 and Standard 2. The school was officially declared open on 13 December 1953 by the Bishop of the Diocese of Singapore and Malacca, Michel Olcomendy. In 1954, Brother Elzear became the school's first full-time Director (Principal).

Brother Louis Gonzaga took over as director in 1955 and Brother Elzear left to take over management of Parish School in Johore Bahru, Malaysia. In 1958, under the supervision of Brother Camillus, the afternoon session began functioning on its own. Brother Raymond was made director. This year also marks the publication of the first St. Gabriel's School Annual (Magazine).
