The Gulf wobbegong or banded wobbegong (Orectolobus halei) is a species of carpet shark in the family Orectolobidae, found in southern Australia between Southport, Queensland and Norwegian Bay, Western Australia. O. halei is very similar to the ornate wobbegong, O. ornatus, of which it was treated as a synonym until 2006.
