Joel Moses Gabb (21 November 1882 – 6 March 1951) was an Australian politician. Born in Adelaide, South Australia, he was educated there at Prince Alfred College before becoming a church worker and greengrocer. In 1919, he was elected to the Australian House of Representatives as the Labor member for Angas, defeating long-serving Nationalist member Paddy Glynn. Gabb was defeated by Nationalist candidate Walter Parsons in 1925, but defeated Parsons in 1929 to regain the seat. In 1931, he joined Joseph Lyons and several other members in leaving the Labor Party and joining with the Nationalists to create the United Australia Party. He held the seat as a UAP member in 1931, but retired when Angas was abolished in 1934.[1] In 1951 he committed suicide.[2]
