Demetrius Augustine Gallitzin (Russian: Дими́трий Дими́триевич Голи́цын, romanized: Dimitry Dimitrievich Golitsyn, December 22, 1770 – May 6, 1840) was an emigre Russian aristocrat and Catholic priest known as "The Apostle of the Alleghenies" and also in the United States as Prince Gallitzin. He was a member of the House of Golitsyn.

Since 2005, he has been under consideration for beatification by the Catholic Church; he was thus titled a Servant of God.
