The 33-year-old, who is a free agent after departing the R's in the summer, had been linked with a host of Championship clubs.
However, according to Sky Sports News, Palace boss Dougie Freedman will offer the Welshman a deal running until the end of the season.
Gabbidon has 46 international caps to his name.
