Gabriel Duvall (1752 - 1844) was a U.S. jurist. He was a U.S. Representative from the second district of Maryland from November 11, 1794, to March 28, 1796, Chief Justice of the General Court of Maryland from 1796 to 1802, and First Comptroller of the U.S. Treasury from 1802 through 1811. He was appointed to the United States Supreme Court to replace fellow Marylander Samuel Chase in 1811 and served until 1835, when he resigned due to deafness.

He was called the most insignificant U.S. Supreme Court justice by David P. Currie in The Most Insignificant Justice: A Preliminary Inquiry, 50 U. Chi. L. Rev. 466 (1983).
