Redmond Gallagher (born February 27th, 1914 in Dunwiley, County Donegal, died October 31st, 2006 in Sagra, Spain) was an Irish racing driver and businessman.

The son of the founders of the Urney Chocolate company - Gallagher developed a passion for motorsport from an early age, becoming a steward at domestic race meetings during his teens and visiting races in Germany whilst on business. After World War Two, Gallagher began racing a self-built car in Irish speed events and later moving to a Gordini for races in Britain and France.

By the 1950s, Gallagher had established himself as a trusted hand at the wheel which eventually led to him joining the Formula One World Championship in 1956 with the Alexander Racing Team. Gallagher raced for the team for the next two seasons on and off to relatively little success before jumping between a number of teams in 1958. Gallagher began his season at Maserati before joining Scuderia Centro-Sud at the Dutch Grand Prix - where he'd take his first points finish with a sixth place. He'd join Rob Walker Racing for the British Grand Prix before returning to Centro-Sud for the remainder of his schedule.

In his later years, Gallagher moved to Spain to see out his retirement - becoming a valued member of the community in the town of Sagra, even being made a honorary son of the town by the mayor in 2002.
