Electronic – Do you know what this connector is called

connectoridentificationRF

It connects a GPS antenna to the PCB with the receiver and other components. The device was accidentally dropped, and this connector seems to have been damaged because it doesn't mate properly with the receptacle anymore. Is it possible to cut it off and replace?

Cheers!

Looks like a broken MMCX male connector to me. These are popular antenna connectors for embedded GPS receivers. MMCX right angle

As the comments mention, it would be useful to have a photo of the mating socket to be sure.

Yes, you can purchase replacement connectors to be soldered + crimped onto the existing cable. But they're very fiddly. I would be inclined to either just buy a new antenna complete with connectorized pigtail, or cut the existing cable and crimp on an SMA plug to use with a short SMA to MMCX adapter cable, which are readily available.
