Apamea gabrieli is a moth in the family Noctuidae. It was first described in 2000 from a specimen collected in the San Gabriel Mountains near Big Pines in Los Angeles County, California. The species is not named after the mountains themselves but rather their eponym, Gabriel.[Mustelin, T., et al. 2000. Two new genera and thirteen new species of owlet moths (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) mainly from southern California. Proceedings of the San Diego Society for Natural History 36: 1–18.] It is also found in the San Bernardino Mountains.[
