Daúd Jared Gazale Álvarez (born August 10, 1984 in Concepción, Chile) is a Chilean footballer of Palestinian descent, currently playing as a forward for the Chilean club Universidad Católica.

Gazale began his career in Huachipato, making his debut in that same team, but his professional debut would not be up until 2005 with Deportes Concepción. He is a very skillful forward, with a lot of speed, and strength, great ball control, goal scorer, and play maker. He is the new southern promise among his generation.

The great season that Gazale had with Deportes Concepción gave him a lot of notice, being that Eduardo Berizzo nominated him to play for the Chilean national team that played a tournament for Under-23 players in Malaysia.

The idea of the coaching staff is for him to adapt himself to the coaching work of Marcelo Bielsa for a future nomination for the 2010 World Cup qualifiers.

In 2008 he received many offers from other clubs. He gained European interest from French club Paris Saint-Germain and Spanish club Real Betis. He also received offers from three major Chilean clubs, Universidad Católica, Universidad de Chile and Colo-Colo. He finally signed a four-year deal with Colo-Colo in a deal worth 400,000 dollars.

He scored his first goal with Colo-Colo on June 25, 2008 against Club de Fútbol Universidad de Chile at the stadium Tierra de Campeones in Iquique playing for the "Copa Gato". The next day, June 26, he was presented at Estadio Monumental together with Macnelly Torres and Luis Pedro Figueroa as new additions to the Colo-Colo squad.

For 2011 Clausura Tournament he will play in Universidad Católica.
