C. J. Gable (born Carl Gable Jr. October 19, 1987) is a college football tailback who plays for the University of Southern California Trojans.

Gable attended Sylmar High School in Sylmar, California. By his sophomore season, he had garnered attention for his play at free safety. He was a 2005 Parade High School All-American before joining the Trojans for the 2006 season.

Gable became the first freshman to ever start an opener at running back for USC when he started at Arkansas in 2006. Gable suffered a season-ending injury in the third game of the 2007 season. He ran a 4.68 second 40-yard dash in the summer of 2008. Gable will compete for playing time at running back and kick returner as a sophomore in 2008. Gable originally wore #25 when he began his USC career, but had it changed to #2, his number in high school; when he arrived at USC, #2 was already worn by wide receiver Steve Smith, however Smith left for the NFL after the 2006 season and Gable was able to reclaim his old number.
