Looking Glass Networks, Inc. was an American telecommunications company headquartered in Oak Brook, Illinois.

Looking Glass also offers custom design and build services for specific campus or data center requirements. On August 3, 2006, Level 3 Communications acquired Looking Glass, at which time the company's dark fiber offerings were deemphasized in favor of managed lit services.
