Dimitra Galani (b. 14th November 1952) is a Greek singer and composer.

Galani was born in Athens. Her father had studied art and song, and her grandfather was a cantor from Epirus. In 1968, at the age of sixteen, she contributed two songs to an album by D. Moutsis and Νikos Gatsos, Ena chamogelo (a smile); that was the beginning of a long career in music. That contribution turned out to be the beginning of a long career in the history of music of both her era and Greece. She became a great performer gifted with a beautiful voice and a strong personality that has always prompted her to look into the reasons behind everything. She belongs to a “generation of leaders”, who for almost three decades have underlined and supported -each in his or her own way -quality Greek songs contributing at the same time to a colorful rainbow of great voices.

Her career currently includes well over eighty albums, and varies from pure Greek folk music to Byzantine hymns and easy listening performances.
She composes songs for herself as well as for other singers and she also composes music for television and film.As a producer she promotes young and talented artists.
