Gabriele Petkevicaite (18 March 1861 – 14 June 1943) was a Lithuanian educator, writer, and activist.
Her pen name Bite (Bee) eventually became part of her last name.
Encouraged by Povilas Višinskis, she joined public life and started her writing career in 1890.
She was the founder and chair of the Žiburelis society to provide financial aid to struggling students, one of the editors of the newspaper Lietuvos žinios, and an active member of the women's movement.
In 1920, she was elected to the Constituent Assembly of Lithuania and chaired its first session.
Her realist writing centered on exploring the negative impact of the social inequality.
Her largest work, two-part novel Ad astra (1933), depicts the rising Lithuanian National Revival.
Together with Žemaite, she co-wrote several plays.
Her diary, kept during World War I, was published in 1925–1931 and 2008–2011.
