Keith Galloway (born 2 September 1985 in Sydney, New South Wales) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer for the Leeds Rhinos. A New South Wales State of Origin and Australian international representative forward, he previously played for the Wests Tigers and Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks. Galloway primarily plays at Prop forward, and is known for his size and power.

While attending Marist College Kogarah, Galloway played for the NSW under 17s and 19s and then Australian Schoolboys team in 2002. Galloway played junior football with the Brighton Seagulls in the St George District, before being enticed to switch to the Yarrawarrah Tigers by mentor Robert Stone.

Galloway made his NRL debut for the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks in 2003 while still attending high school, a few months before his 18th birthday. He made 8 appearances from the bench in the second half of the 2003 season, scoring a try in his second match.

Starting the 2004 season on the bench, Galloway scored the Sharks' sole try in the opening game of the season, a 6-12 loss to Wests Tigers. He played in 14 games for the season, including some mid-season appearances in the starting side in the second-row.

Galloway was on the receiving end of a John Hopoate leaping elbow charge in 2005, leaving the 19-year-old unconscious on the field. The event led to a 17-week suspension for Hopoate. He was again a regular on the bench for the Sharks, but in the qualifying final match against St. George Dragons he was promoted to starting prop, in what was his last game for the club.
