John Herschel Glenn (18. juuli 1921 Cambridge, Ohio8. detsember 2016 Columbus, Ohio) oli Ameerika Ühendriikide astronaut ja poliitik.

John Glenn valiti 1959. aastal NASA esimesse astronautide gruppi. Ta oli kolmas ameeriklane kosmoses. Esimese ameeriklasena tegi ta 20. veebruaril 1962 Friendship 7 pardal kolm tiiru Maa orbiidil. Lend kestis 4 tundi 55 minutit ja 23 sekundit.[1] Pärast lendu võeti teda vastu rahvuskangelasena ja temast sai president Kennedy perekonnasõber. Glenn oli Mercury programmi viimane elusolev astronaut.[2]

Glenn lahkus NASAst 1964. aasta alguses ning otsustas siirduda ärisse ja poliitikasse. Aastatel 1965–1974 tegutses ta ettevõtluses ning 19741999 esindas Ohio osariiki USA senatis.[3] Aastatel 1976 ja 1984 osales ta Demokraatliku Partei presidendikandidaatide eelvalimistel.

Kosmosesüstiku Discovery (STS-95) pardal sai John Glennist 1998. aastal 77-aastaselt vanimana kosmoses käinud inimene.[4] See lend kestis 8 päeva 21 tundi ja 44 minutit. Tema peamine ülesanne oli osaleda vananemist käsitlevates uuringutes. Uuriti tema tasakaalu, taju, immuunsüsteemi reaktsiooni, luude ja lihaste tihedust, metabolismi, vereringe tööd ja und. Tehnika oli vahepeal sedavõrd arenenud, et Glenn pidi maandumisel taluma kõigest 3 g suurust ja mitte 6 g suurust ülekoormust nagu esimesel korral. Sellel lennul osales seitse inimest, kellest viis olid ameeriklased, üks hispaanlane ja üks jaapanlane.

6. aprillil 1943 abiellus ta oma lapsepõlvekallima Anna Margaret Castoriga, kellega koos oli mänginud kooli bändis. Neil on kaks last.[5]
