"Glad All Over" is a song written by Dave Clark and Mike Smith and recorded by the Dave Clark Five.[3]

Released in 1963, it was a hit and formed part of the early British Invasion, becoming the first hit of the movement by a group other than the Beatles, whose song "I Want to Hold Your Hand" it displaced at number one on the UK Singles Chart. It was the second-highest selling single of 1964 in the UK, after the Beatles' "Can't Buy Me Love".

The song is notable as the anthem of English football club Crystal Palace.
