Broc Glover (born May 16, 1960 in San Diego, California) is an American former professional motocross racer in the 1970s and early 1980s.[1] Glover earned six AMA National Motocross Championships, a record which stood for nearly 20 years until 2003, when Ricky Carmichael finally eclipsed the mark.[1] Glover won all of his titles riding for Yamaha.

Glover won the 125cc National Championship in his first full year riding as a pro in 1977. He defended his crown in 1978 and 1979. He moved to the 500cc class in 1981 and won the national championship in his first year in the class. He added 500cc championships in 1983 and 1985. When he retired after the 1988 season, Glover held the AMA all-time wins record in both AMA 125cc motocross and 500cc motocross.[1]

Glover was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2000.[1]
