Vasily Pavlovich Glagolev (Russian: Василий Павлович Глаголев; 23 May 1883 – 14 March 1938) was a Red Army commander.

He served as a staff officer in the Imperial Russian Army in World War I and defected to the Bolsheviks after the October Revolution. He fought for them against the White movement in the subsequent civil war. He was made a brigade commander on 13 December 1935, with the reintroduction of military ranks.

During the Great Purge, he was arrested on 11 December 1937, and executed the following year.
