Gale is an unincorporated community in Center Township, Hendricks County, Indiana, United States. Gale is located on the east side of Danville, just along country road 300 east.

A post office called Gale was established in 1882, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1906. [2]

The community once had a blacksmith, hardware store, and a church (Bartlett Chapel Church). The church relocated to Hardscrabble in 1961, and the former church building became the Hendricks County Golf Course clubhouse. [3]
