Galley Common is a suburban village on the outskirts of Nuneaton, Warwickshire, England. The community is a ward on the western fringe of Nuneaton and Bedworth district, on the border with North Warwickshire district, with a population taken at the 2011 census of 8,233.[1]

The village comprises a school, several small shops, riding stables, a social club, a small industrial estate and farmland. It is close to the villages of Ansley, Astley, Arley and Old Arley.
