Gabriel da Silva Flávio (born 12 January 1998), commonly known as Gabriel Carioca, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a left-back for Fluminense de Feira.
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Gabriel came through the youth categories of Grêmio before moving to Santa Catarina, where he joined the academy of Atlético Tubarão. He was promoted to the first team squad at the end of 2018, having been highlighted by the club as a graduate of its base categories focused on gaining senior experience.
In 2019, while still registered with Atlético Tubarão, Gabriel was loaned to Sergipe, making five appearances in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série D.
Gabriel signed for Tombense in 2020, making eight appearances between the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C and the Campeonato Mineiro that year. In September 2020, he tested positive for COVID-19 and was withdrawn from Tombense's squad as a precautionary measure.
Gabriel spent the following three seasons away from Tombense on loan. In 2021, he joined Villa Nova-MG, helping the club win the Campeonato Mineiro Módulo II title with 12 appearances and two goals, before a brief spell with Juventus Jaraguá. In 2022, he was loaned in succession to Nacional-MG, Joinville, and back to Villa Nova-MG. His stint at Joinville ended in October 2022, when the club released him along with fifteen other players after being eliminated from the Copa Santa Catarina. In 2023, he had further loan spells with Pouso Alegre and Uberlândia, both in Minas Gerais.
Gabriel left Tombense at the end of his contract and, in 2024, played for North before returning to Uberlândia on a permanent basis, this time featuring in the top flight of the Campeonato Mineiro. In 2025, he moved to São Paulo state to join Juventus-SP in the Campeonato Paulista Série A2, before returning to Minas Gerais with Guarani-MG. In 2026, he moved to Bahia, representing Jequié-BA in the Campeonato Baiano before signing for Fluminense de Feira, with whom he won the Campeonato Baiano second division title.
