Glen Dale Johnson (September 11, 1911 – February 10, 1983), was a lawyer, a U.S. Democratic Party politician, and a member of the United States House of Representatives from Oklahoma.
Johnson was born in Melbourne, Arkansas (a small town located in Izard County) on September 11, 1911, son to Willie and Jeffie Johnson. In 1920, the family relocated to Paden, Oklahoma, where he attended the public schools. He was graduated from the University of Oklahoma Law School at Norman in 1939, was admitted to the bar the same year and began his law practice in Okemah.
Johnson was elected to the Oklahoma House of Representatives in 1940 and re-elected in 1942. He resigned from the Oklahoma House in January, 1942 to enlist in the United States Army following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the U.S. entry into World War II. On one three-day pass, he married Imogene Storms in Okemah on December 5, 1942. While he entered the Army as a private, in May 1946 he was discharged as a captain. Upon his return to Oklahoma, he resumed his practice of law.
