Gallblåsan (lat. vesica fellea eller vesica biliaris) sitter vid levern, och fungerar som en tillfällig lagringsplats för galla som sedan blandas med tunntarmens innehåll. Vid behov pressar gallblåsan ut galla i tolvfingertarmen. Gallblåsan är inte nödvändig för kroppens funktion och kan därför opereras bort vid till exempel gallstensproblem. Det utförs årligen omkring 14 000 sådana operationer i Sverige (2014).
