contents We establish the convergence of the densities of a sequence of nonlinear functionals of an underlying Gaussian process to the density of a Gamma distribution. The key idea of our work is a new density formula for random variables in the setting of Markov diffusion generators, which yields a special representation for the density of a Gamma distribution. Via this representation, we are able to provide precise estimates on the distance between densities while developing the techniques of Malliavin calculus and Stein's method suitable to Gamma approximation at the density level. We first focus our study on the case of random variables living in a fixed Wiener chaos of an even order for which the bound for the difference of the densities can be dominated by a linear combination of moments up to order four. We then study the case of general Gaussian functionals with possibly infinite chaos expansion. Finally, we provide an application to random variables living in the second Wiener chaos.
