Richard A. Gabriel is a historian and author.

He is a former adjunct professor in the Department of History and War Studies at the Royal Military College of Canada and in the Department of Defence Studies at the Canadian Forces College in Toronto.

He is the author of books including ''Scipio Africanus: Rome’s Greatest General'', ''Hannibal: The Military Biography of Rome’s Greatest Enemy'', ''The Great Armies of Antiquity'', ''Man and Wound in the Ancient World'' and ''Military Incompetence''. David Olle of ''Nyjournalofbooks'' praised Gabriel's writing style as "accessible and engaging."
