Gabanellia is an extinct genus of marine ray-finned fish from the Late Triassic of Italy. It contains a single species, G. agilis, from the Norian-aged Calcare di Zorzino formation.[2][3]

It was previously placed in the order Perleidiformes as the only member of the family Gabanelliidae. However, in a 2022 taxonomic revision of "perleidiform"-type fish, it was found to instead belong to the family Colobodontidae, within the newly-defined Colobodontiformes.[4]
