半乳甘露聚糖（Galactomannan，简写GM）或称半乳糖甘露聚糖，是一种包含了甘露糖骨干与半乳糖旁基的多糖，更准确的一点来说，半乳甘露聚糖是直线状(1-4)-链接的β-D型甘露糖（(1-4)-linked beta-D-mannopyranose ）骨干于它们6-连接点连接到α-D型半乳糖（alpha-D-galactose）的多糖，即1-6-链接的α-D型吡喃半乳糖（1-6-linked alpha-D-galactopyranose）。部分的植物与真菌都含有半乳甘露聚糖的成分。

依照甘露糖与半乳糖的比值，将半乳甘露聚糖种类按比值由小至大排列：

Galactomannans are polysaccharides consisting of a mannose backbone with galactose side groups (more specifically, a (1-4)-linked beta-D-mannopyranose backbone with branchpoints from their 6-positions linked to alpha-D-galactose, i.e. 1-6-linked alpha-D-galactopyranose).
