Galeno di Pergamo (Pergamo, 129 – Roma, 201 circa) è stato un medico romano, i cui punti di vista hanno dominato la medicina occidentale per tredici secoli, fino al Rinascimento, quando cominciarono lentamente e con grande cautela a essere messi in discussione, per esempio dall'opera di Vesalio.Dal suo nome deriva la galenica, l'arte del farmacista di preparare i farmaci.
