Galaxy is a renowned brand of milk chocolate that first made its debut in the United Kingdom in 1960. It was specifically developed to offer a smoother, more finely-milled texture compared to other contemporary chocolates, leading to its famous marketing slogan comparing its silkiness to cotton. Over the decades, it has grown to become one of the UK's most popular chocolate brands, consistently ranking as a top-seller alongside competitors like Cadbury Dairy Milk.

While the brand was originally created by Mars in the UK, its global presence is extensive. In many international markets, including the United States, Canada, and various European countries, the same chocolate is sold under the brand name Dove. In the UK market, the product is primarily manufactured at Mars Wrigley's facilities in Slough.

The brand is owned by Mars, Incorporated, an American multinational legacy company that remains family-owned. Mars is one of the world's largest food and confectionery producers, managing a diverse portfolio that includes other household names like Snickers, M&M's, and Milky Way. Despite its American ownership, Galaxy maintains a deep British identity, where it continues to produce its core range of bars, ripples, and minstrels.
