Glenn Branca
Glenn Branca (født 6. oktober 1948, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania) er amerikansk komponist og musiker.
Med sine enkle, men masive arrangementer for mange el-guitarer og med sin udforskning af guitaren som instrument var han en betydelig fornyer af amerikansk guitarkompositionsmusik i anden halvdel af 1900-tallet og en afgørende inspiration for støjrock og postrock i 1980'erne og 1990'erne.
