The Gabela bushshrike (Laniarius amboimensis) or Amboim bushshrike is a bird in the Malaconotidae family. It is a reclusive and enigmatic bird, and it is not quite resolved whether it should better be considered a distinct species or a well-marked subspecies of Lühder's bushshrike. It is endemic to Angola.
Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. It is threatened by habitat loss.
