John Glen Browder (born January 15, 1943) is a former member of the United States House of Representatives from Alabama's 3rd congressional district.

From 1978 to 1987, he was the president of Data Associates in Anniston, Alabama, primarily conducting polls and managing campaigns for candidates for public office.

His colleagues included him among their Outstanding Legislator ranks in 1985 and 1986, and he received special commendations from crime victims, social workers, and school financial aid administrators.

In 1992–93, he chaired a two-year special House inquiry, Countering the Chemical and Biological Threat in the Post-Soviet World.

He advocated for benefits for veterans returning from Operation Desert Storm and study of a set of symptoms that would come to be known as Gulf War Syndrome.

Following his time in the House of Representatives, Browder accepted two academic positions, the first as a distinguished visiting professor in the Department of National Security Affairs at the Naval Postgraduate School (1997–present), with primary responsibility in the area of "Congress and the Pentagon".

He has published four books, The Future of American Democracy: A Former Congressman's Unconventional Analysis, University Press of America, 2002; The South's New Racial Politics: Inside the Race Game of Southern History, NewSouth Books, 2009; and Stealth Reconstruction: An Untold Story of Racial Politics in Recent Southern History (with Artemisia Stanberry), NewSouth Books, 2010, and South Carolina's Turkish People: A History and Ethnology, University of South Carolina Press, 2018.
