Glen Ewen is a village within the Rural Municipality of Enniskillen No. 3, in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. It had a population of 154 as of the 2016 Canada Census, (a +6.9% increase from 144 in the 2011 Canada Census). The village is located on the Canadian Pacific Railway just south of Provincial Highway 18. The towns of Carnduff and Oxbow are nearby.

The community was founded March 24, 1905 by a rail worker and Glen Ewen's first postmaster (Thomas Ewen). The town policy of tearing down any dwellings which have been vacated, combined with the current boom in the oilfield in this area, has resulted in a housing shortage for incoming workers. The school was closed in November, 1989, and now is the Glen Ewen Communiplex.

In 2011 the new Glen Ewen Hotel was opened, replacing the old hotel that had burned down in 2007.[5]
