Glennon Patrick Flavin (March 2, 1916 – August 27, 1995) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop of Lincoln from 1967 to 1992.
Glennon Flavin was born in St. Louis, Missouri, the youngest of six children. His father was a police lieutenant. His brother Cornelius also joined the priesthood, was eventually made a Monsignor, and was the pastor of Timothy Dolan, a future Cardinal and Archbishop of New York, when young Father Dolan served at The Church of the Immacolata in Richmond Heights. After graduating from St. Louis Preparatory Seminary, he studied at Kenrick Seminary.
He was ordained a priest by Archbishop John J. Glennon on December 20, 1941. He then served as a curate at St. Michael Church and taught algebra at the Cathedral Latin School in St. Louis. In 1948, he was named assistant director of the Archdiocesan Mission Office, becoming its director in 1956. He became a curate at the Cathedral of St. Louis and private secretary to Archbishop Joseph Ritter in 1949.
