Template:Redirect Template:Use dmy dates Gabrán mac Domangairt (Old Welsh: Gawran map Dinwarch<ref name=ACB>Annales Cambriae B Text</ref>) or Gabrán the Traitor (Gwran Wradouc<ref name=ACB/>) was king of Dál Riata in the mid-6th century. He is the eponymous ancestor of the Cenél nGabráin. Gabrán was the son of Domangart Réti and the father of Áedán mac Gabráin.<ref>Coleman (2024), p. xiv</ref>
The historical evidence for Gabrán is limited to the notice of his death in the Irish and Welsh annals.<ref>The Welsh chronicles place his death 528 entries (= years) after the birth of Christ, but Phillimore's reconstruction of the A text dates it to AD 559 instead.</ref> It is possible that Gabrán's death should be linked to a migration or flight from Bridei mac Maelchon, but this may be no more than coincidence.<ref>See under Bridei mac Maelchon.</ref>
