Gabrielse Cone is a remarkably fresh, clearly postglacial monogenetic cinder cone, located in the Tuya Volcanic Field in British Columbia, Canada. It is about {{convert|400|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} in diameter and has a central crater about {{convert|30|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} deep. It is Holocene in age and to its northeast appears to be breached with the remnants of a lava flow. The cone is near the headwaters of Iverson Creek.

Gabrielse Cone is named after Hu Gabrielse, a Canadian geologist who first identified the cone.{{cite book|last1=Simpson|first1=K.|last2=Edwards|first2=B.|last3=Wetherell|first3=K.|title=Documentation of a Holocene volcanic cone in the Tuya-Teslin volcanic field, northern British Columbia|publisher=Geological Survey of Canada|page=2|year=2006|isbn=0-662-42326-7}}
