Galician Americans (Galician: galegos americanos) are Americans of Galician descent.

The Galicians (Galician: Galegos; Spanish: Gallegos) are a nationality, cultural and ethnolinguistic group whose historic homeland is Galicia, in the north-west of the Iberian Peninsula (Europe). Galician and Castilian are the official languages of the Autonomous Community of Galicia.

Galician migration to North America took place mainly between 1868 and 1930,[1] although there was a second smaller wave in the late 1940s and 1950s, when Galicians managed to form a small community in Newark.[2]

There are some notable Galician-born persons who have lived or are now residing in the US, such as musician Cristina Pato or teacher Anxo Brea,[3] but they may do so temporarily and without being naturalized American. The list below refers to US-born or US citizens of Galician ancestry.
