Galun je nenaseljeni otočić u hrvatskom dijelu Jadranskog mora. Pripada Kvarnerskoj skupini otoka. Nalazi se oko 2 kilometara od mjesta Stara Baška na otoku Krku. Administrativno je dio općine Punat. Njegova površina iznosi 0,06 km². Dužina obalne crte iznosi 1,28 km. Obale su niske, ali kamenite i nepristupačne osim malenog mula kraj svjetionika. Svjetionik s 12 metara nadmorske visine za tri metra prelazi najvišu točku na otočiću. Na sjevernoj strani otočića je hrid, a s jugoistočne plićina. Vegetaciju na otoku čini samo nisko raslinje.

Na Galunu obitava velika kolonija galebova. Ako se zateknete na otoku u periodu od travnja do lipnja, izbjegavajte hod po otoku da ne smetate galebove u gniježđenju i držite se njegovih rubnih dijelova. Zakonom je zabranjena svaka radnja kojom ga se ometa i uznemiruje u njegovom prirodnom životu i slobodnom razvoju (rastjerivanje, proganjanje, hvatanje, držanje, ozljeđivanje i njegovo ubijanje, te oštećivanje njihovih gnijezda ili legla i obitavališta). 

Cache se ne nalazi kraj gnijezda i može mu se pristupiti u bilo koje doba.
