Gabriel Ramanantsoa was a Malagasy politician who served as the second president and eighth prime minister of Madagascar from 1972 to 1975. He presided over an era of military rule in Madagascar, restructuring the government and reducing the presence of France, the country's former colonial overlord. Continued unrest and ongoing economic difficulties undermined his political support, and he turned over control of the country to Richard Ratsimandrava in 1975.
