Neutron total and capture cross-section measurements of $$^{155}$$Gd and $$^{157}$$Gd were performed in the ANNRI at the MLF of the J-PARC. The neutron total cross sections were determined in the energy region from 5 to 100 meV. At the thermal neutron energy, the total cross sections were obtained to be 59.4$$pm$$1.7 and 251.9$$pm$$4.6 kilobarn for $$^{155}$$Gd and $$^{157}$$Gd, respectively. The neutron capture cross sections were determined in the energy region from 3.5 to 100 meV with an innovative method by taking the ratio of the detected capture event rate between thin and thick samples. At the thermal energy, the capture cross sections were obtained as 59.0$$pm$$2.5 and 247.4$$pm$$3.9 kilobarn for $$^{155}$$Gd and $$^{157}$$Gd, respectively. The present total and capture cross sections agree well within the standard deviations. The results for $$^{155}$$Gd were found to be consistent with the values in JENDL-4.0 and the experimental data given by Mastromarco et al. and Leinweber et al. within one standard deviation. Moreover, the present results for $$^{157}$$Gd agreed with the evaluated data in JENDL-4.0 and the experimental data by M${o}$ller et al. within one standard deviation and agreed with the data by Mastromarco et al. within 1.4 standard deviations. However, they disagree (11% larger) with the experimental result by Leinweber et al.
