Glen Dean is an unincorporated community in Breckinridge County, Kentucky, United States. Glen Dean is located at the west end of Kentucky Route 108, 9.8 miles (15.8 km) south-southwest of Hardinsburg.[2] Glen Dean had a post office until it closed on June 22, 1991.[3]

The place name Glen Dean comes from the Scottish words glen, meaning a narrow valley, and dean, also meaning valley.[4]

It has also been reported that Glen Dean was named for William Johnson Dean, who was the owner of 2,700 acres.[5]

The last wild turkey in Breckinridge County was killed in the late 1800s[timeframe?] near the site of the first Goshen Baptist Church, located in Glen Dean.
