Ely Galleani (born Federica Elisabetta De Galleani; 24 April 1953), sometimes credited as Justine Gall and Ely Gall, is a retired Italian film actress.

Born in Alassio, Italy, as Federica Elisabetta De Galleani, daughter of an Italian count and of a Polish woman of Lithuanian origin,[1] Galleani made her film debut in 1970 with a small role in Quella piccola differenza by Duccio Tessari, then appeared in a number of films with roles of more weight.[1] Drug problems and a decline in Italian film production forced her to retire from acting in 1978.[2] She moved on to a career as an accountant.[2]

She was the half-sister of actress Halina Zalewska, who accidentally died in 1976, at 36, in a fire.[1] Galleani is also the ex-wife of Italian filmmaker Carlo Vanzina.[3]
