Paco Jemez's side, fresh from their 1-1 draw with Barcelona, looked set to leapfrog Levante and move out of the bottom three when Erik Exposito gave them the lead in Vigo.
However, Juan Carlos Unzue's side got back into the game just after the hour mark when Jonny equalised.
So often this season Celta have relied on the goals of Maxi Gomez and Iago Aspas but it was Pablo Hernandez who came up trumps here.
However, Hernandez's 89th minute winner owed a lot to a brilliant assist from Aspas, whose brilliant form continued.
Celta moved back up to ninth in the table and remain in the fight for a European spot, while Las Palmas have other matters on their mind at the bottom.
