Gaia (Numidian: GYY)^[1]^[2] (died 207 BCE) was a Berber king of the Massylii,^[3] an eastern Numidian tribe in North Africa.

Gaia reigned during the Second Punic War of ancient Rome. He was the father of King Masinissa,^[4] and the brother of Oezalces.^[5]

Greco-Roman authors give his name as "Gala", but an inscription in Dougga indicates it may have instead been "Gaia".^[6]
