Petur Dimitrov Gabrovski ( _bg. Петър Димитров Габровски) was a Bulgarian politician who briefly served as Prime Minister during the Second World War.

Gabrovski began his political career as a National Socialist, forming his own movement the Ratniks of the Advancement of the Bulgarian National Spirit ("Ratnitsi Napreduka na Bulgarshtinata")-Ratnik or the Ratnitsi, as they became known. The group was virulently Anti-Semitic and was said to have links to Nazi Germany, although it failed to achieve anything approaching a mass following.

Gabrovski joined the cabinet of Bogdan Filov in 1940 and was appointed as Minister of the Interior. In this role he became associated with the transportation of Jews to concentration camps and most notoriously signed a written agreement to approve the transportation of 20,000 Jews from Macedonia and Thrace on 22 February 1943 .

Following the death of Boris III Gabrovski served as acting Prime Minister between 9 September and 14 September 1943, whilst the country's main political leaders served as regents for Simeon II. He was overlooked for the job full-time however and his position waned from there on. He was eventually executed, along with many of the old regime, under the new communist government.
