In this paper, we investigated the minimal surfaces in three dimensional Galilean space $\mathbb{G}^{3}$. We showed that the condition of minimality of a surface area is locally equivalent to the mean curvature vector $H$ vanishes identically. Then, we derived the necessary and sufficient conditions that the minimal surfaces have to satisfy in Galilean space.
