Anders Glenmark (b. November 20, 1953 in Tomelilla, Sweden) is a Swedish pop and rock singer, as well as one of Sweden's most successful music producers and song writers.

He has also, early on in his career, been a backing singer on solo albums by members of ABBA such as Anni-Frid Lyngstad's Frida Ensam and Agnetha Fältskog's Elva Kvinnor I Ett Hus, both released in 1975. In 1984 Glenmark sang lead vocals on Murray Head's UK number one hit single "One Night in Bangkok" from the Benny Andersson/Tim Rice/Björn Ulvaeus musical Chess.
