Gabriel Manigault (March 17, 1758 – November 4, 1809) was an American architect. He was born in Charleston, South Carolina, went to study in Geneva, Switzerland, and London, and came back to Charleston after the American Revolutionary War.[1] He died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His great-grandfather was Pierre Manigault (1664-1729), a French Huguenot who was born in La Rochelle, France and settled in Charleston.

He employed Greek Revival and Adamesque styles.

In Charleston, he designed only five homes.[1] He may have designed Presqui'ile and William Blacklock House.
