Glen Adjei Kamara (born 28 October 1995) is a Finnish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Ligue 1 club Rennes and the Finland national team.

He began his senior career at Arsenal, where he made one substitute appearance in the Football League Cup and was loaned to Southend United and Colchester United.
