James Alpheus Glen DSC & Bar (23 June 1890 – 7 March 1962) was a Canadian First World War flying ace, officially credited with 15 victories.

Four of these victories occurred in a Sopwith Pup he named "Mildred H." after his girlfriend at the time (he later married an American silent actress Josephine Earle). The Golden Age Air Museum in Bethel, Pennsylvania, has a flying reproduction of his Pup.
