Gabriel Hill is the summit of Half Moon Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It is a rocky hill rising to 101 m in the island's northwest extremity and surmounting Moon Bay to the west and Menguante Cove to the southeast. The area was visited by early 19th century sealers operating from nearby Yankee Harbour.

The feature's name appeared in a 2000 publication following Argentine ornithological research on the island, and in the 2005 and 2009 Bulgarian maps of Livingston Island.
