'''Gabriel Strobl''' (3 November 1846 in [Unzmarkt](/source/Unzmarkt-Frauenburg), [Styria](/source/Styria), [Austrian Empire](/source/Austrian_Empire) &ndash; 15 March 1925 in [Admont](/source/Admont), Benediktinerstift)  was an [Austria](/source/Austria)n [Roman Catholic](/source/Roman_Catholic) priest and [entomologist](/source/entomologist) who specialised in [Diptera](/source/Diptera).

In 1866 the then 20-year-old Gabriel Strobl became a Roman Catholic priest monk (''Pater'') at the [Benedictine](/source/Benedictine) monastery [Admont Abbey](/source/Admont_Abbey) (Stift Admont). A devastating monastery fire in 1865 had destroyed the Natural History Cabinet (a museum) and its contents which had included [Joseph Stammel](/source/Joseph_Stammel)’s Universe. He was entrusted by Abbot Karlmann Hieber (served 1861–1868) with rebuilding the Natural History Museum. In 44 years of work - until his stroke in 1910 - Gabriel Strobl built up the Museum anew. In his first 12 years of work, he devoted himself principally to [botany](/source/botany), before dedicating himself completely to entomology for the following 32 years. Although his published work is mainly on Diptera he also worked on [Hymenoptera](/source/Hymenoptera) and [Coleoptera](/source/Coleoptera) of the [Balkan peninsula](/source/Balkan_peninsula) which was partially ruled by [Austria-Hungary](/source/Austria-Hungary) until 1918.<ref name="Chvala2008">{{cite journal |last1=Chvála |first1=Milan |title=The Types of Diptera (Insecta) described by Pater Gabriel Strobl |journal=Studia Dipterologica Supplement |date=2008 |volume=17 |pages=1–281}}</ref>
