Gabriella Palm (born 20 May 1998) is an Australian water polo player.

Palm attended Brisbane Girls Grammar School.[1]

Palm was a member of the Australian Stingrays squad that competed at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.[2][3][4][5][6] By finishing second in their pool, the Aussie Stingers went through to the quarterfinals. They were beaten 8-9 by Russia and therefore did not compete for an Olympic medal.[7]

Her father is former rugby union player Mitchell Palm.[8]
