Gabriel Jordan "Gabe" Gross (born October 21, 1979 in Baltimore, Maryland) is a left fielder in Major League Baseball who plays for the Milwaukee Brewers organization. He bats left-handed and throws right-handed.

In a year-career, Gross posted a .208 batting average with three home runs and 16 RBI in 44 games.

Formerly a starting quarterback for the Auburn football team, Gross was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the first round (15th overall) of the 2001 amateur entry draft. Promoted from Triple-A Syracuse on August 7, 2004, he saw limited duty against lefthanding pitching.

Gross has excellent power, and though he is a big man, possesses good speed also. In September he belted his first major league grand slam off the Oakland A's Justin Duchscherer. His outfield skills are also very good, with a fine and strong arm. In 38 games he collected 73 putouts with five assists and one double play in 78 total chances, for a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage.

On December 7, 2005, Gross was traded by the Blue Jays to the Milwaukee Brewers, along with pitchers Dave Bush and Zach Jackson, in exchange for first baseman Lyle Overbay and pitching prospect Ty Taubenheim.
