GABA receptor antagonists are drugs that inhibit the action of GABA. In general these drugs produce stimulant and convulsant effects, and are mainly used for counteracting overdoses of sedative drugs.

Examples include bicuculline, securinine and metrazol, and the benzodiazepine GABA_A receptor antagonist flumazenil.

Also thujone, ginkgo biloba, kudzu and muira puama^{[citation needed]} may have properties of GABA_A receptor antagonism.
