Xenotime-(Gd) is a Xenotime species with the ideal formula Gd(PO4), being one of the few known gadolinium-dominant rare earth minerals.

It was first described in 2024 from on gadolinium rich xenotime-(Y) from Prakovce in Slovakia. Besides yttrium, the examined type material bore further rare earth elements such as dysprosium, samarium and terbium.
