Galali (Arabic: قلالي‎) is a small area in the Kingdom of Bahrain, located on Muharraq Island, north of Muharraq City. Galali used to be the farthest north point of Bahrain before the development of the manmade artificial islands of Amwaj Islands.
The inhabitants of the village are mostly Sunnis. The main tribes to inhabit the village are the Al Mannai, Al Jowder and Al Ansari.
Before the discovery of oil in Bahrain, most of the villagers were seamen, involved in the pearl diving and fishing industry.
