Jason Edward Riche Gallian (born 25 June 1971, Manly, Sydney, Australia) is a former English Test cricketer, who originally hails from Australia and captained their Under-19 side for two Under-19 Tests in 1989 and 1990. He played three Test matches for England, but disappointed, with a highest score of 28 in six innings. Gallian has been a county professional for fifteen years, previously playing for Lancashire and Nottinghamshire. He recently signed a two year deal to play for Essex until 2009, and scored 171 on his Championship debut for the county.

In September 2005, Gallian became the first player to have twice been dismissed for 199 in first-class cricket when he was run out against Kent. His previous dismissal for that score had been in April of the same season against Sussex, and on that occasion he was also run out. Early in his career he, along with Graham Thorpe, was heralded as a brilliant prospect for England, but as his record suggests, while Gallian may have had the talent to play Test cricket, he apparently lacked the temperament.
