Glenn John McQueen (born December 24, 1960 - died October 29, 2002) was an animator at Pixar and was the supervising animator for "A Bug's Life", "Toy Story 2", and "Monsters, Inc.". His cause of death was skin cancer (melanoma).

The movie "Finding Nemo" was dedicated to him, and also a small short after the film. The main character in "Cars", Lightning McQueen, was named after him.

His is the saying "I do have the best job in the world, no question. Everybody should be jealous. This is so what you want to do."

McQueen's ashes were either given to a friend or family after he was cremated.
