Magdalena Galdikiene née Draugelyte (26 September 1891 – 22 May 1979) was a Lithuanian Catholic feminist, teacher, and politician.
For two decades, she chaired the Lithuanian Catholic Women's Organization (Lithuanian: Lietuviu katalikiu moteru draugija or LKMD), the largest women's organization in interwar Lithuania.
She was the first to celebrate Mother's Day in Lithuania in 1928.
She was elected to the Constituent Assembly of Lithuania in May 1920 and all subsequent Seimas (parliaments) until the 1926 coup d'état.
After World War II, Galdikiene fled to the United States where she devoted herself to supporting, promoting, and preserving the art of her husband, the painter Adomas Galdikas.
