We present an efficient technique for calculating the midplane gravitational potential of a thin axisymmetric galactic disk. The applicable gravitational theory may be Newtonian or non-Newtonian. By taking into account the disk's vertical structure, there is no Green's function singularity in the solution integration. Our derivations are relatively simple, but we stop at a level where Mathematica can easily take over and execute what otherwise would be tedious and uninformative mathematical manipulations.
