Glyn (Griffith) Owen (6 March 1928 – 10 September 2004) was a British stage and television actor.
Born in Bolton, Lancashire, the son of a Welsh railway guard, he left school aged 14 and worked in a telegraph office. He completed his compulsory military service in 1946-1948 during which time he acted in the War Office's amateur dramatic company. For the next five years he was a policeman in London's Paddington district, while continuing in amateur dramatics and receiving acting training at the Actor's Studio in St John's Wood.
By 1955 he was performing with the George Mitchell Singers in Blackpool, with the impresario Lew Grade as his agent. His television debut was in 1956 in The Trollenburg Terror. His other television roles included Emergency Ward 10, Coronation Street, The Brothers, Doomwatch, The Rat Catchers, Oil Strike North, All Creatures Great and Small, Ennal's Point, and, most notably, Howards' Way.
In 1978 he appeared in the BBC science fiction television series Doctor Who as Rohm-Dutt in the serial The Power of Kroll. In 2002 he appeared in Nekromanteia — a spin off audio drama based on Doctor Who by Big Finish Productions.
