We present the catalogue of blended galaxy spectra from the Galaxy And MassAssembly (GAMA) survey. These are cases where light from two galaxies aresignificantly detected in a single GAMA fibre. Galaxy pairs identified fromtheir blended spectrum fall into two principal classes: they are either stronglenses, a passive galaxy lensing an emission-line galaxy; or occultinggalaxies, serendipitous overlaps of two galaxies, of any type. Blended spectracan thus be used to reliably identify strong lenses for follow-up observations(high resolution imaging) and occulting pairs, especially those that are alate-type partly obscuring an early-type galaxy which are of interest for thestudy of dust content of spiral and irregular galaxies. The GAMA survey setupand its autoz automated redshift determination were used to identify candidateblended galaxy spectra from the cross-correlation peaks. We identify 280blended spectra with a minimum velocity separation of 600 km/s, of which 104are lens pair candidates, 71 emission-line-passive pairs, 78 are pairs ofemission-line galaxies and and 27 are pairs of galaxies with passive spectra.We have visually inspected the candidates in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey(SDSS) and Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS) images. Many blended objects areellipticals with blue fuzz (Ef in our classification). These latter "Ef"classifications are candidates for possible strong lenses, massive ellipticalswith an emission-line galaxy in one or more lensed images. The GAMA lens andocculting galaxy candidate samples are similar in size to those identified inthe entire SDSS. This blended spectrum sample stands as a testament of thepower of this highly complete, second-largest spectroscopic survey in existenceand offers the possibility to expand e.g., strong gravitational lens surveys.
