Gabriela Leitão Rocha Barros (born Brussels, August 9, 1988) is a Portuguese actress and singer. Although born in Brussels, she has lived in Lisbon since 2007. As she stated on the Portuguese television program A Tua Cara não me é Estranha, she holds dual nationality, being the daughter of a Portuguese mother and a Brazilian father.

She gained public recognition by appearing in the eighth season of the teen soap opera Morangos com Açúcar. More recently, Gabriela Barros starred in the television series Vanda (2022), created by Patrícia Müller. The series is based on the true story of a family woman and mother of two young children who, after being betrayed—both personally and financially—by her partner, was driven to commit armed bank robberies in Lisbon to survive amidst the financial crisis and the third Troika intervention in Portugal.

He was invited to—and won—the third season of the Portuguese edition of *Taskmaster* (2023), broadcast on RTP1. [1]

She was also a vocalist for the musical project SEDA, which released two albums between 2009 and 2012.[2]

In 2022, she won a Golden Globe in the Best Actress – Fiction category for her performance in the satirical series Pôr do Sol (RTP).[3]
