James Glenn Beall (June 5, 1894 – January 14, 1971) was an American businessman and politician. A member of the Republican Party, he served as a U.S. Representative (1943–1953) and a U.S. Senator (1953–1965) from Maryland.
J. Glenn Beall was born in Frostburg, Maryland, to Olin and Florence (née Glenn) Beall. He was a descendant of Colonel Ninian Beall, who immigrated from Scotland in 1658 as an indentured servant and eventually became wealthy landowner. His maternal grandfather served as a captain in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. As a child, Beall suffered from polio and underwent several operations before age 12; his left arm and leg were permanently withered. He received his early education at public schools in Frostburg, and then studied at Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania.
Beall briefly worked in a clerical capacity at the First National Bank of Frostburg. During World War I, he served in the U.S. Army Ordnance Corps (1918–1919), being discharged as a sergeant. He subsequently worked in the insurance and real estate business in Frostburg and Cumberland, establishing the Beall Insurance & Realty Company in 1919.
