Gabrielle Poulin (June 21, 1929 - January 31, 2015) was a Canadian writer.[1] One of the most prominent writers in Franco-Ontarian literature,[2] she was most noted for her 1994 novel Le Livre de déraison, which won the Grand Prix du Salon du livre de Toronto in 1994.[3]

Born and raised in Saint-Prosper, Quebec, she spent her adult life in Ottawa, Ontario with her husband, historian and academic René Dionne.[1] She published 13 books throughout her career, including novels, short stories, poetry and non-fiction writing. In a 2000 review of a reissue of her early novel Un cri trop grand, Stefan Psenak praised her writing about women characters who were able to be both sensible and passionate.[4]

René Dionne et Gabrielle Poulin : œuvres et vies croisées, an anthology of critical essays about both Dionne's and Poulin's work, was published in December 2014 just a few weeks before Poulin's death.[5]
