Griezmann came close to adding a second, but RB Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi produced a superb save to deny him.
Griezmann was instrumental in the winning goal as well, delivering a pinpoint cross for José María Giménez, who directed a powerful header into the net in the final moments of the match.
Gallagher, who joined Atletico Madrid in August for around £33 million, came on in the 63rd minute with the score tied at 1-1.
The England international is the second English player to represent Atletico in the Champions League, following in the footsteps of Kieran Trippier.
RB Leipzig will face Juventus at home on 2 October, while Atletico Madrid travels to Benfica on the same date.
