Gabriel Hanot (6 November 1889 – 10 August 1968) was a French association football player and journalist (the editor of L'Équipe).

He made 12 appearances for the France national football team, with his debut coming on 8 March 1908 against Switzerland. He made another 10 appearances for them up to World War I. After the war he played one more time for France, as captain against Belgium on 9 March 1919.[1]

Following an aviation accident he gave up football and became a journalist.[2]

He is credited with introducing the professional championship in France, in 1932.[2]

Hanot and his colleague at L'Equipe Jacques Ferran were the prime movers behind getting the UEFA European Cup established.[3]
