Glaze Brook is a minor river in Greater Manchester, England.

The brook drains a large area south of the town of Leigh and is formed at the outflow of Pennington Flash close to Aspull Common. Pennington Flash is fed by Hey Brook, itself a continuation of Nan Holes Brook, which runs eastwards from Ashton-in-Makerfield.

After picking up the waters of Bedford Brook (which runs southward from Leigh) and Black or Moss Brook (coming west from Worsley), the brook turns southward, ultimately draining into the River Mersey section of the Manchester Ship Canal near Cadishead.
