Gabriela Moser (28 July 1954 – 12 March 2019) was an Austrian politician who was a member of the National Council for more than 20 years.

Moser, an early member of The Greens – The Green Alternative, was first elected to the city council of Linz in the 1980s.[1]

She won a seat on the National Council of Austria in the 1994 Austrian legislative election, vacated her seat briefly, and then rejoined parliament in 1997.[2] She remained a member until the Greens lost all their seats in the 2017 election.[3]

Moser was best known for her work fighting corruption. A parliamentary committee led by her investigated the Telekom affair [de] involving Telekom Austria, and the Tetron affair [de] which concerned the creation of a radio system for emergency services. Moser helped uncover the BUWOG affair [de] which former finance minister Karl-Heinz Grasser was involved in. Moser also investigated the Skylink scandal surrounding the construction of Vienna International Airport's Terminal 3, and allegations of corruption at the Austrian Federal Railways.[4]

In 2018, Moser worked for the party academy of JETZT, a party that had split from the Greens in 2017.[2]
