Declan Patrick Gallagher (born 13 February 1991) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Scottish Premiership club Aberdeen and the Scotland national team.
Gallagher started his career at Celtic but never made a first team appearance, however he was involved in their Scottish Youth Cup win in 2010.

In 2016, Gallagher was imprisoned for more than a year for assault which took place three years earlier.

After moving to Motherwell in summer 2019, he made his Scotland debut in November of that year.
