The original community of Gambrills is now part of the Odenton CDP, while the Gambrills CDP lies to the northeast of the original community. It is a suburb of Annapolis, Maryland.

The area was named for Augustine Gambrill, plantation owner. The population of the CDP was 2,800 at the 2010 census,[1] up from 1,759 in 2000. Gambrills is served by MARC, the Maryland commuter rail service. There is a busy MARC station in the neighboring town of Odenton, with regular rail service to Baltimore and Washington, DC.

The CDP of Gambrills is to the northeast, separated from the village by Maryland Route 32, the Patuxent Freeway. The Gambrills CDP is bordered to the east by Interstate 97, a freeway connecting Baltimore and Annapolis.
