Galten is a former railway town in central Denmark, at the Aarhus-Hammel-Thorsø railroad which was closed in 1956.

Today, Galten has almost fused with the neighbouring eastern town of Skovby into an urban area with a population of 9,223 (1 January 2024).

The scenery between Galten and the nearby lakeside town of Ry is characterised by the gently rolling hilly landscape, that is so characteristic of eastern Jutland.

Galten is home to the STARCO Europe A/S, a global group for specialty tire and wheel engineering and manufacturing, and furniture maker Skovby Møbelfabrik.
