Gabrielse Cone is a remarkably fresh, clearly postglacial cinder cone, located in the Tuya Volcanic Field in British Columbia, Canada. It is about 400 m in diameter and has a central crater about 30 m 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 was named after Hu Gabrielse, who first identified the cone.
