Howard Gallier (11 June 1872[1]–1955) was an association football forward, who was a key figure in the early history of Eastville Rovers Football Club (later renamed Bristol Rovers).

Gallier was born in the Aston area of Birmingham in 1872,[2] and moved to Bristol in the mid-1890s.[3] He began playing for Eastville Rovers in 1895, and was the club's top scorer for his first two seasons playing for them, netting 15 times in the 1895–96 season and a further eight times in 1896–97.[4] He played a single game for Singers F.C. (later Coventry City) in the Birmingham & District League in 1898.
