Declan Patrick Gallagher (born 13 February 1991) is a Scottish footballer who plays as a centre back for Ross County.
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.{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/celtic/8650599.stm|title=Celtic win SFA Youth Cup | work=BBC News | date=28 April 2010}} He was then sent out on loan to Stranraer to gain some first team experience. Despite impressing while on loan, he was released and was signed by Clyde before moving on to join Dundee. After experiencing a relegation followed by a promotion in two seasons at Dens Park, he joined Livingston in 2014.
In 2016, Gallagher was imprisoned for more than a year for assault which took place three years earlier. Gallagher returned to Livingston after his release from jail, and he played regularly during their consecutive promotions to the top division between 2017 and 2018. After moving to Motherwell in summer of 2019, he made his Scotland debut in November of that year. Gallagher helped Scotland qualify for UEFA Euro 2020 and was selected for their tournament squad. After spells with Aberdeen and St Mirren, Gallagher joined Dundee United in July 2023.

Despite impressing while on loan, Gallagher was told he was not needed by Celtic, putting a number of clubs on alert.
