Glenard Paul Lipscomb (19 August 1915 - 1 February 1970) was a Representative from California, born in Jackson, Michigan, and moved to Los Angeles, California, with his parents in 1920. He attended the Los Angeles public schools, the University of Southern California, and Woodbury College, then engaged in public accountancy since 1940. During World War II he served in the Finance Corps of the United States Army.

He was elected a member of the California Assembly in 1947 and reelected in 1948, 1950, and 1952. He was a delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1956 and was elected as a Republican to the Eighty-third Congress by special election on 10 November 1953 to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Norris Poulson. He was reelected to the Eighty-fourth and to the seven succeeding Congresses, thus serving from late 1953 until his death in Bethesda, Maryland in early 1970. He was interred in Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, California.

USS Glenard P. Lipscomb (SSN-685) was named in his honor.
