Gambrills refers to two neighboring places in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, United States, located in the Annapolis metro area: the unincorporated community of Gambrills, and the Gambrills census-designated place (CDP).

The original village of Gambrills was located on Annapolis Road, 2 miles (3 km) southeast of the center of Odenton. Today, it is an unincorporated, census-designated place. It is the location of Whites Hall Farm, the birthplace and boyhood home of Maryland native Johns Hopkins.
