Theodore Gabras was an 11th-century Byzantine military leader and governor who served in the Pontus region. A skilled and energetic soldier, he rose to high ranks within the empire and successfully reclaimed Trebizond from Seljuk rule. His career was marked by a period of tension with Emperor Alexios I Komnenos following an unsuccessful attempt to rescue his son from imperial custody. Ultimately, his military service led to his capture and death during a campaign against the Danishmendid Turks.
