Gizela Crkvenjakov (Serbian Cyrillic: Гизела Црквењаков; born 1960) is a Serbian politician from the Hungarian community. She has served in the Assembly of Vojvodina since 2016 as a member of the Serbian Progressive Party. She has a bachelor's degree in management and lives in Kanjiža, a predominantly Hungarian town in northern Vojvodina.

In 2016, Crkvenjakov was the lead candidate on the Progressive Party's list for Kanjiža in the municipal elections. The list won five seats, but the municipality was won by the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians. She resigned her municipal seat on 9 June 2016.

In the 2012 provincial election, she was 24th on the Progressive Party list, but the party won only 14 seats, so she did not win a seat. After Vojvodina switched to full proportional representation, she was 46th on the Progressive list in the 2016 provincial election and was elected when the list won 63 of 120 seats. She was active in the Women's Parliamentary Network and defended the assembly's adoption of symbols from 1848, which drew some controversy among minority communities.

She was promoted to the 23rd position on the Progressive list for the 2020 provincial election and was re-elected when the list won 76 seats. She now serves on the assembly committees on national equality and on gender equality.
