Takron-Galtos is a fictional planet in the DC Comics universe. It first appeared in Adventure Comics #359 (August, 1967).

Takron-Galtos is a planet-sized prison built to house the most dangerous criminals in the galaxy. It exists in the 20th Century, as shown in Justice League of America #247, February 1986. It is featured in JLA #21, when Adam Strange, along with the League, tricks an invading force of aliens, the En'teran Slavemasters. The aliens end up teleported to the surface of Takron-Galtos.

Takron-Galtos has been used an off-world holding area for many of the DCU's supervillains, who were captured by Amanda Waller's Suicide Squad.

During a prisoner uprising a guard named G'Hu is captured. By the time fellow guards break in, G'Hu has defeated his captors. This action causes him to be recognized and recruited for the Green Lanterns.

A Takron-Galtos prisoner is recruited for the Lantern's enemies, the Sinestro Corps. Bur'Gunza, a model prisoner is let out of his restraints on the day of his release. He slays forty-two guards before he is defeated. This brings him to the attention of the Sinestro Corps.

Takron-Galtos is still in use in the 30th Century. Most of the prison functions are automated, and the administrative staff consists of a warden and a small group of Science Police.

In the planet's first appearance, members of the Legion of Super-Heroes are imprisoned there after the new President of Earth, Kandro Boltax, outlaws the Legion. The young superheroes are released after Boltax is revealed to be the supervillain Universo, who had turned the population of Earth against the Legion by putting a mind control chemical in the water.

The Legion eventually send many of their deadliest foes to Takron-Galtos, including members of the Fatal Five, Roxxas, the Time Trapper, various members of the Legion of Super-Villains, and Mordru.
