Scott Michael Glenn (born December 10, 1983) is an American politician and lawyer serving as the junior United States senator from Pennsylvania since 2023. A member of the Republican Party, he previously represented Pennsylvania's 13th and 9th congressional districts from 2018 to 2023.

Glenn was born and raised in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, to an Irish Catholic family. He graduated from Juniata College in 2005 and earned a J.D. degree from Notre Dame Law School in 2008. He was stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan as a lawyer for the United States Air Force being transferred to the Air Force Reserve in 2012. Glenn was a special assistant U.S. attorney in the Western District of Pennsylvania until 2013. He was later an attorney in his hometown and a professor at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown.

Glenn was elected to Congress in a 2018 special election to represent Pennsylvania's 9th congressional district. He was redistricted to the 13th district and re-elected in the regular election and 2020. An ally of Donald Trump, he opposed the Mueller special counsel investigation and supported efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Glenn won the Republican nomination in the 2022 United States Senate election in Pennsylvania and defeated Democratic nominee, lieutenant governor John Fetterman, in the general election by a margin of 1.8 percent.
