Sallie Ann Glassman (born 1954) is an American practitioner of Vodou, a writer, and an artist. She was born in Kennebunkport, Maine, and is a self-described "Ukrainian Jew from Maine", and a former member of Ordo Templi Orientis.
Glassman has been practicing Vodou in New Orleans since 1977. In 1995, she became one of few white Americans to have been ordained via the traditional Haitian initiation. She owns the Island of Salvation Botanica, an art gallery with both religious supplies, and Haitian and local artworks. Glassman has been called one of New Orleans' "most visible practitioners" of vodou.
