Gabriel spoke to Zechariah about the coming of John the Baptizer in Luke 1:

19 “I am Gabriel,” replied the angel. “I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news."
A few months later, Gabriel spoke to Mary about the virgin birth:

26 In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to a town in Galilee called Nazareth, 27 to a virgin pledged in marriage to a man named Joseph, who was of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary.
Later in Matthew 1:

20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
Did Gabriel speak to Joseph in a dream?

It did not explicitly mention "Gabriel," but it probably was Gabriel since he had spoken personally to Zechariah and Mary before.
