Gabi Hernandez is a fictional character from the American soap opera Days of Our Lives on the NBC network. The role was introduced in 2009, and played by actress Camila Banus from 2010 to 2023. The role was created by Dena Higley and Christopher Whitesell, and originated by actress Gabriela Rodriguez on November 20, 2009. Banus stepped into the role on October 4, 2010. She exited the role in April 2023, and last appeared in November of the same year. In 2024, the role was re-introduced with Cherie Jimenez.

Originally described as a sweet, innocent, and loving girl, a number of events since Gabi's arrival on the series have altered her personality. In 2012, the character experienced a personality shift, which would reveal her manipulative side that was called "crazy" and obsessive. Her storylines have included the death of her sister Arianna Hernandez (Lindsay Hartley), her first love (Will Horton) coming to terms that he is gay, and romances with Chad DiMera (Casey Deidrick/Billy Flynn), Nick Fallon (Blake Berris), JJ Deveraux (Casey Moss), Eli Grant (Lamon Archey), Stefan DiMera (Tyler Christopher/ Brandon Barash) and Jake Lambert (also Barash). Other storylines have included killing Nick, giving birth to Will's daughter, Arianna Horton, going to prison several times, being wrongly accused and imprisoned for the murder of André DiMera and her feuds with Chad, Abigail Deveraux, Julie Olson Williams and Lani Price, amongst others. Gabi is of Latin descent, and Banus has expressed her pride in representing the Hispanic community through her portrayal. Banus' portrayal of Gabi earned her a Daytime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Younger Actress in a Drama Series in 2015.
