Glenn Ryan (born on 20 October 1972) is a former Gaelic football player, who captained the Kildare team in one of its most successful periods in recent history, leading the Lilywhites to the All-Ireland final in 1998 and collecting Leinster medals in 1998 and again in 2000. . Ryan's contribution was recognised with GAA All Star Awards in 1997 and 1998 and a place on the Kildare Team of the Millennium.
He played his club football with Round Towers, winning the county title with them three times.
He managed the Kildare Under 21 team to a Leinster Under-21 Football Championship in 2008 and went on to the All-Ireland Under 21 Football Championship final only to lose out to Kerry on the day.
In 2009 he took over the Longford senior football team.
In his first year Longford were knocked out in the first round of the Leinster Senior Football Championship by Wicklow. They then went into the Qualifiers where they beat Leitrim 0–13 to 0–10 before they ran Kerry close in Round 2 going down 1–12 to 0–11.
Rayn's second year in charge once again seen his side go out in the first round in Leinster losing out to Louth, they once again entered the Qualifiers, in round 1 they pulled off the shock of the championship when they beat Mayo 1–12 to 0–14, in Round 2 Derry proved too good and ran out 1–14 to 1–10 winners.
