Glenview is a 6th-class city along the southern bank of the Ohio River in northeastern Jefferson County, Kentucky, United States The population was 531 at the 2010 census.

5,000 acres (20 km2) of the surrounding land were originally owned by James Smalley Bate and named "Berry Hill" for his former Virginia home.

Early residents of Glenview cooperated with other communities to open the Louisville, Harrods Creek and Westport Railroad in 1877, a commuter rail line in use until its abandonment in the 1950s.

Some of Louisville's most influential families, including the Binghams, the Ballards, and the Belknaps, moved into the area after the opening of the railroad.

Several buildings are individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places including the Ballard School, Boxhill and Lincliff.

Louisville attempted to annex Glenview in 1983, which prompted its residents to seek a separate incorporation from the state legislature.
