Glendon is a village in northern Alberta, Canada that is north of St. Paul. The community has the maiden name of an early postmaster's mother.[5]

In 1993, the town unveiled its roadside tribute to the perogy. Their "Giant Perogy," complete with fork, is 7.6 m (24.9 ft) in height.[6] It is one of the Giants of the Prairies.[7] Glendon is home to former NHLer Stan Smyl.
