''Ghabrivirales'' is an order of double-stranded RNA viruses. It is the only order in the class ''Chrysmotiviricetes''. The name of the class is a portmanteau of member families: ''chrys''oviridae, ''m''egabirnaviridae, and ''toti''viridae; and -''viricetes'' which is the suffix for a virus class. The name of the order derives from Said ''Ghabri''al, a pioneering researcher who studied viruses in this order, and -''virales'' which is the suffix for a virus order.
