Gabyon Station, often referred to simply as Gabyon, operates as a sheep station under a pastoral lease in the Mid-West region of Western Australia. Positioned approximately west of Yalgoo and east of Mullewa, the property borders the Geraldton-Mount Magnet Road to its southern boundary and lies close to Pindar in the southwest. Encompassing an area of , Gabyon is located within the southeastern drainage basin of the Greenough River. Adjacent stations include Tallering to the west, with Jingemarra and Dalgaranga situated to the northeast. The station is intersected by two public thoroughfares: Gabyon Tardie Road and Yalgoo North Road.
Currently owned by Helen and Gemma Cripps, Gabyon has expanded its operations by introducing a farm stay enterprise to offset losses following the collapse of the live sheep export market. The station manages a flock exceeding 12,000 Damara sheep.
Dating back to before 1890, Gabyon was under the ownership of Mr. Lacy by 1891 and functioned as a pathway to the Murchison goldfields. By 1893, the station supported a sheep population of around 16,000. The death of co-owner H. M. Molony in 1903 saw his share valued at £5,250. In 1904, the property was put up for auction, described as covering , partitioned into 20 paddocks with of fencing, and stocked with 11,000 sheep. Facilities included a stone homestead, a 16-stand shearing shed, 14 windmills, and two water tanks with a combined capacity of .
In 1898, Wainwright and Company held leases for Gabyon alongside Barnong and Pindathirna Stations during a period marked by substantial rainfall that enhanced pasture availability. Arthur Charles Gillam purchased Gabyon in 1910 after selling Chirritta Station for £20,000. The Gillam family retained ownership for approximately one hundred years until Rob Gillam divested the property in 2009; throughout this tenure, wool production from merino sheep was the primary focus.
In 2011, bushfires devastated around of grazing land at Gabyon and inflicted considerable losses on livestock.
