Gallego Mills was a flour producer in Richmond, Virginia, from 1796 to 1930.
In the 1850s, the mills were considered the largest in the world. The mills were completely destroyed during the Evacuation Fire of 1865, when the industrial district of Richmond was burned by evacuating Confederate forces. Rebuilt, the mills closed in 1930.
