Dyzma Kazimierz Gałaj (1915, Mystkowice - 2000, Warsaw) was a Polish sociologist and politician.[1]

During World War II, he was a member of the Polish peasant Bataliony Chłopskie resistance. After the war he would become a communist political activist, and study at the University of Łódź. He would be a member of the Polish parliament (Sejm) from 1965 to 1985, and marshal of the Sejm in 1971–1972, representing the United People's Party (ZSL). From 1972 to 1976, he was a member of the Polish Council of State. In politics, he was seen as a supporter of general Mieczysław Moczar.

As a scholar, his work concentrated on the 20th century Polish peasantry.
