Neil Gallagher (born 18 August 1982) is an Irish former Gaelic footballer who played for Glenswilly and the Donegal county team.
He tended to play for his county at midfield, from 2004 until his injury-enforced retirement in 2017.
He won two All Stars, one All-Ireland Senior Football Championship title, three Ulster Senior Football Championship titles and one National Football League title. He was team captain when Donegal won the National Football League title in 2007. Gallagher's haul of Ulster SFC titles was a joint county team record (alongside such past players as Anthony Molloy, Martin McHugh, Joyce McMullan and Donal Reid) for four years until Patrick McBrearty, Neil McGee, Paddy McGrath, Leo McLoone, Frank McGlynn, Michael Murphy and Anthony Thompson surpassed it in 2018.
