Gabriel Janowski (born 22 April 1947 in Konstantów) is a Polish politician and activist of opposition in Poland. His first term as a politician was as senator in the Senate, then as a deputy in the first, third and fourth terms of the Sejm. From 1991 to 1993 he was the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development.

On 20 January 2000, before a debate concerning the dismissal of the Minister of Treasury Emil Wąsacz, Janowski was accused of behaving strangely by his press secretary. Janowski stated this was because someone had drugged him.
