Gil Alberto Enríquez Gallo (24 July 1895 – 13 July 1962) was President of Ecuador 1937–1938.

Enriquez was a general in the Ecuadorian army and served as Minister of National Defense in the government of Federico Páez. In September 1937, he overthrew Páez in a military coup. Although he ruled for less than a year, Enríquez achieved note as a social reformer by his promulgation of the Labor Code of 1938.
