Warren Glenn Harding Sr. (January 8, 1921 – April 2, 2005) was an American politician from the state of Texas, a member of the Democratic Party who served as Texas State Treasurer from 1977 to 1983. He was preceded in office by Jesse James and succeeded by Ann Richards.
Harding won election as county treasurer for Dallas County, Texas in 1950, and served in the role through 1977. Governor Dolph Briscoe appointed him as state treasurer in 1977 after James died in office. He was elected to a full term in 1978, but ended his 1982 re-election campaign against Richards when he accepted a plea agreement after being charged with misusing his office. He ran in a special election for the United States House of Representatives in 1985 but lost.
