Glen Raymond Broomhill (20 January 1933 – 26 December 2007) was an Australian politician who represented the South Australian House of Assembly seats of West Torrens from 1965 to 1970 and Henley Beach from 1970 to 1979 for the Labor Party. Glen Broomhill's most enduring achievement was as the architect of South Australia's visionary container-deposit legislation. That initiative, one of the first of its kind in the world, continues to stand as a landmark to environmental awareness.
