Gabon competed at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland. This marked Gabon's debut at the games, after joining the Commonwealth of Nations in 2022.
The Gabonese team consisted of seven athletes (three men and four women) competing in three sports. On the eve of the games, the Gabonese boxing team was withdrawn due to not completing mandatory gender testing in time.
Swimmer Noélie Annette Lacour was the country's flagbearer during the opening ceremony. Meanwhile, team official Kurt Ogouenkero was the baton bearer during the opening ceremony.
On the final day of the Games, Gabon achieved its first ever medal, with judoka Marthe Gnacadja Avora winning a bronze medal in the Women's +78 kg super heavyweight class.
