Ana Gabriel (born on December 10, 1955 as María Guadalupe Araújo Young in Santiago de Comanito, Sinaloa) is a Mexican singer and composer.

Ana was born into a Mexican family of mixed descent; her father, Raúl Araújo was of Spanish ethnicity, while her mother Isabel Young was the daughter of Chinese immigrants.^[1] She first sang on the stage at age six, when she sang "Regalo A Dios" by José Alfredo Jiménez. She moved to Tijuana, Baja California, where she studied accounting. When she was 21 years old she recorded her first song, entitled "Compréndeme" in 1977. During her long career, she has hits in three different genres of music: rock en español, Latin Pop, and rancheras. In 2006 she received the Lo Nuestro award's "Premio a la Excelencia" (Excellence Award).

Although a music collection promotes her and fellow Mexican singer Juan Gabriel as "Los Gabriel" (The Gabriels), they are not related to each other.
