Gabi Citron-Tengborg (1930–2009) was a Swedish ceramicist and designer, born in Danzig. She came to Sweden in 1939 and studied at Konstfack in Stockholm from 1950 to 1954. After winning a design competition she was given a trial period at Gustavsberg from 1954 to 1956, where she worked alongside Lisa Larson and designed the models Buckla, Löva and Vinga. From 1964 she ran her own workshop in Lund, creating decorative stoneware for private and public settings.
