GLScene is a free OpenGL-based library for Delphi, C++ and Free Pascal. It provides visual components and objects allowing description and rendering of 3D scenes.

Development of the original library was started in 1999 by Mike Lischke{{Cite web |url=http://www.lischke-online.de/GLScene.php |title=OpenGL library GLScene |access-date=2006-06-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060617215850/http://lischke-online.de/GLScene.php |archive-date=2006-06-17 |url-status=dead }} and at version 0.5 the library was made Open Source and placed in the care of project administrator Eric Grange.

GLScene allows programmers to create OpenGL 3D objects at design-time using the interface shown. A wide range of objects and additional VCL controls are provided to help the programmer to build powerful 3D Delphi applications.

GLScene is supported by its user-base and comes with a number of demonstration applications and examples. Beginning with version 1.2 it also supports the C++Builder and Lazarus IDE for Free Pascal.
