Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + D-galactose = ADP + D-galactose 1-phosphate. Catalysis of the transfer of a phosphate group, usually from ATP, to a substrate molecule. Catalysis of the transfer of a phosphorus-containing group from one compound (donor) to an alcohol group (acceptor). Catalysis of the transfer of a phosphate group, usually from ATP, to a carbohydrate substrate molecule. Catalysis of the transfer of a phosphorus-containing group from one compound (donor) to another (acceptor).
