The Gabrantovices were a conjectural group of Ancient Britons inhabiting the coast of what is now Yorkshire in Northern England. They may have been a sub-tribe or sept of the Brigantes or of the Parisi.{{cite book |last1=Brown |first1=Ian |title=Beacons in the landscape : the hillforts of England and Wales |date=2009 |publisher=Windgather Press |location=Oxford |isbn=9781909686274 |page=222}}

As with their proposed neighbours, the Lopocares, the Gabrantovices are not directly attested: the name is taken from Ptolemy's name Γαβραντουικων Ευλιμενος Κολπος, or in Latin Gabrantvicvm Sinus — the Gabrantovician Harbour. This is identified with modern Bridlington Bay or Filey Bay.A.L.F. Rivet, C. Smith, The Place-names of Roman Britain, Batsford (1979) The meaning of the name has been discussed as deriving from one of two Celtic roots, either *gabro- meaning a goat (Welsh gafr) or *gabranto- meaning "riding a horse" with second element meaning "fight", so "Goat warriors" or "Cavalry warriors".Helmut Birkhan, Germanen und Kelten bis zum Ausgang der Römerzeit, Böhlau (1970)K Jackson, Journal of Roman Studies XXXVIII (1948), 57
