Gabriel Maura Gamazo, 1st Duke of Maura (25 January 1879 – 29 January 1963) was a Spanish politician and historian. He was the son of Antonio Maura, who was Prime Minister of Spain on five occasions. Gabriel was active in the Liberal-Conservative Party and served as Labour Minister in the last government cabinet of Alfonso XIII before the dictatorship of Miguel Primo de Rivera. He fled Spain during the Civil War and did not return until 1953. His archives were destroyed in the conflict by the Popular Front.
