César Gelabert Piña (born 31 October 2000) is a Spanish footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Ligue 1 club Toulouse.

Real Madrid
Born in Palencia, Castile and León, Gelabert joined Real Madrid's La Fábrica in 2015, from Hércules CF. He made his senior debut with the reserves on 25 February 2018 at the age of just 17, coming on as a late substitute in a 3–0 Segunda División B home win against Pontevedra CF.

After subsequently overcoming another injury, he scored his first senior goal on 3 November 2019, netting Castilla's first in a 2–4 away loss against Sporting de Gijón B.
