Gabriel Augustin Poix (8 November 1888 – 23 January 1946) was a French rower who competed in the 1912 Summer Olympics and in the 1920 Summer Olympics.[1]

In 1912, he was the strokeman of the French boat Société Nautique de Bayonne which was eliminated in the first round of the coxed four (inriggers) competition. Eight years later, he won the silver medal as a member of the French boat in the coxed pair event.[2]
