Edward Glenn Bryant (born September 7, 1948) is an American politician who is a former Republican member of the United States House of Representatives from Tennessee (1995–2003).

On December 12, 2008, Bryant was sworn in as a United States magistrate judge for the Western District of Tennessee.

During his time in the U.S. Army, he was assigned to the Ballistic Missile Defense System Command in Huntsville, Alabama, the 4th Infantry Division at Fort Carson in Colorado and taught constitutional law to cadets at the United States Military Academy at West Point.

Upon returning to Jackson, Tennessee, he joined the law firm of Waldrop & Hall[2] and was later elected President of the Madison County Bar Association.

Bryant first became politically active in a high-profile way in 1988 when he served as an early organizer for the abortive presidential bid of conservative televangelist Pat Robertson.

Bryant won the Republican nomination for the district, a largely Democratic area mostly in the northwestern part of the state.

He lost in the general election to Union City attorney and state representative John S. Tanner.

Bryant resumed the practice of law, having been appointed as United States Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee by President George H. W. Bush in 1991.

Bryant was opposed by former governor of Tennessee, U.S. Secretary of Education, and two-time presidential candidate Lamar Alexander for the Republican nomination.
