August John Galan (May 23, 1912 – December 28, 1993) was an American professional baseball outfielder, manager and coach.

He played 16 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1934 to 1949 for the Chicago Cubs, Brooklyn Dodgers, Cincinnati Reds, New York Giants and Philadelphia Athletics.

His parents had emigrated from France in the late 19th century, and his father operated a French hand laundry on Berkeley’s University Avenue.

The arm was never set, or healed improperly, and it was never fully healthy throughout Galan's professional career.
