The Galà dei Castelli is an annual track and field meet that takes place at the Stadio Comunale Bellinzona in Bellinzona, Switzerland and is currently classified among the silver standard World Athletics Continental Tour meetings. It was first held in 2011.
In 2025 the meeting was canceled for financial reasons, in particular the cantonal taxes. It returned in 2026 under a new name, GalAthletics Bellinzona.
