Gaëtan Krebs (born November 18, 1985) is a French footballer who plays in the position of midfielder. He is currently signed to German Bundesliga club Hannover 96.

He began his career in his native country with RC Strasbourg and enjoyed success in the club's youth ranks, helping them through to the final of the Gambardella Cup in 2003.

Krebs finally made his senior debut during the 2005/06 season in a goalless home draw with Sochaux on December 3, 2005. However, he only managed one further league appearance for the club, although he did feature four times in their UEFA Cup campaign that season.

He was loaned out to German side Sportfreunde Siegen, playing in the Regionalliga-South, in the 2006/07 season. Here, he scored his first senior goal, equalising at 1. FC Saarbrücken on August 25, 2006.

In June 2007, he moved permanently to top flight club Hannover 96 for 500,000 euros on an initial two-year contract.
