Gallium hydroxide, Ga(OH)3, is the normal mineral form of gallium in the Earth's crust.

Gallium hydroxide is very rarely seen as a discrete mineral called söhngeite; much more commonly, gallium replaces aluminium in ores such as bauxite. Rich sources may contain almost 1% Ga replacing Al, but a more typical value is a hundred times less.

Gallium hydroxide is amphoteric. In strongly acid conditions, gallium ion, Ga3+ is formed; in strongly basic conditions, Ga(OH)4-, is formed.

Salts of Ga(OH)4- are sometimes called gallates.
