Glen Haydon was an American musicologist instrumental in the founding of the Department of Music at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He remained chair of the department until his death in 1965.

Haydon wrote Introduction to Musicology, one of the first books on the subject written in English.

He also played a key role in the creation of the Music Library at the University.
