Warrant Officer Class One Glenn John Haughton is a senior British Army soldier. In March 2015, he was appointed Army Sergeant Major, the most senior warrant officer and member of the other ranks in the British Army. He was previously Regimental Sergeant Major of the 1st Battalion, Grenadier Guards and Academy Sergeant Major at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.

Haughton left school after taking his GCSEs at the age of 16. He joined the military in 1988.

While serving in the army, he completed an Extended Diploma in strategic management; this is a qualification equivalent to two A-Levels. Haughton holds a First Class Masters Degree in Business Administration.

In 1988, Haughton joined the British Army as guardsman in the Grenadier Guards. During his career he has served a number of overseas posting and was involved in a number of conflicts including the Gulf War, the War in Afghanistan, and the Iraq War. He was appointed Regimental Sergeant Major of the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards in 2011. This meant he became the most senior soldier of the regiment.

In 2010, Haughton was selected for a Late Entry Commission (IE he was a senior serving soldier selected to become a commissioned officer). However, he was chosen to continue working as one of the army's most senior warrant officers rather than immediately take up the role of a staff officer. On 9 December 2013, he was commissioned into the British Army with the rank of captain but continued serving in the rank of Warrant Officer Class 1. He was appointed Academy Sergeant Major of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in January 2014.
