Galandou Diouf) (14 September 1875 – 6 August 1941) born in Saint-Louis Senegal, was the first African elected official from the advent of colonialism in the territory of French West Africa.

He was of Wolof and Serer background, and as a native of one of the Four Communes of Senegal considered part of France, was granted the (nominally) full rights of French citizenship.

Diouf was elected in 1909 to represent the commune of Rufisque at the advisory General Assembly (Conseil Général) of Saint-Louis, then capital of colonial Senegal.

With the German invasion of France in 1940, Diouf did not vote against the 10 July 1940 granting of power to the collaborationist regime of Marshal Petain, having already fled.

Diouf had opposed the armistice with the Germans, even drafting an appeal on 19 June 1940 with the Guadeloupean Deputies Gratien Candace and Maurice Satineau to President Albert Lebrun that called on the government to continue the war in the colonies.
