Edward Scott Glacken (July 28, 1944{{cite web | title =Scotty Glacken | work = Pro Football Reference | url = https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/G/GlacSc00.htm}} – December 27, 2006{{cite news|title = Georgetown Football Coach Edward 'Scotty' Glacken | date = January 19, 2007 | newspaper = The Washington Post | url = https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/18/AR2007011801910.html | first=Joe | last=Holley | accessdate=May 23, 2010}}) was an American football quarterback and coach. He played college football at Duke University. In 1963, Glacken threw for a school-record 12 touchdown passes. Glacken finished his Duke career with 3,170 yards and 24 touchdowns, helping the Blue Devils to a 15–13–2 record during his final three years as a player.

Glacken played two seasons with the Denver Broncos, leading them to a 1967 exhibition victory over the Detroit Lions, the first time an American Football League (AFL) club defeated a team from the rival National Football League (NFL).

Glacken would begin a two-decade long coaching career in 1970, taking the head coaching position at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., helping to return the Hoyas to NCAA intercollegiate competition after a number of years as a club team.

Glacken retired as Georgetown's coach in 1992, having compiled a 98–94–2 record.
