Gabriel Hjertstedt, Swedish golfer
Gabriel Hjertstedt (born 5 December 1971) is a Swedish professional golfer.

Hjertstedt was born in Umeå, Sweden. His family relocated to Australia when he was eleven and he learned to play golf there. He turned professional in 1990 and spent time on the PGA Tour of Australasia and the Japan Golf Tour.
