Abel Gardey (21 November 1882, Margouët-Meymes, Gers – 23 September 1957, Pouylebon) was a French politician belonging to the Radical Party. He served as the Minister of Agriculture in the third Herriot government.^[1] In 1933, he was the French Minister of Budget. He later became the general reporter for the Senate finance commission and was described as a "bastion of orthodox economics" in May 1939.^[2]

On 10 July 1940, he voted as a Senator in favour of granting the cabinet presided by Marshal Philippe Pétain authority to draw up a new constitution, thereby effectively ending the French Third Republic and establishing Vichy France.
