Pope Gabriel VII of Alexandria (Anda Gabriel VII) was the 95th Coptic Orthodox Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of St. Mark.
He was born in the area around the monastery of El-Mouharraq, and at a young age he became a monk in the wilderness at the Monastery of Saint Macarius the Great. He was ordained Patriarch in 1525 A.D. following the death of Pope John XIII. Gabriel was patriarch for more than forty years; his patriarchate spanned the early years of Ottoman rule in Egypt.
He renovated the monasteries of Saint Anthony, and Saint Paul, the first hermit, in the Eastern desert, and the monastery of El-Mouharraq in Upper Egypt.
Pope Gabriel died in 1570 following a brief illness.
