Donald Henry Galloway (October 17, 1898 – December 12, 1980) was an architect of the modern United States intelligence community, being given the assignment as the first Assistant Director of the Office of Special Operations (ADSO), first at the Central Intelligence Group (CIG), and later when it was transitioned into the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). He was a United States Army veteran of World War I, World War II, the Cold War, and the Korean War. His role in Korea was critical to the peace process of 1953, helping to negotiate the armistice with the North Koreans and Chinese at Panmunjom that ended the fighting. He was awarded the Legion of Merit twice.
