The Galloping Goose Regional Trail is a 55 kilometre trail between Victoria, British Columbia, Canada and the ghost town of Leechtown, north of Sooke. The trail is a popular route both for commuting and recreation. It is frequented by people walking, running, cycling, skateboarding and (in places) riding horses.

The trail was created in 1987 on the former right-of-way of the Canadian National Railway, and runs through the communities of Sooke, Metchosin, Colwood, Langford, View Royal and Saanich, as well as the unincorporated community of East Sooke. The trail also forms part of the Trans-Canada Trail, and intersects the Lochside Regional Trail. It is maintained by the Capital Regional District.
