Deborah J. Glick (born December 24, 1950) is an American politician who serves in the New York State Assembly from the 66th district since 1993, and from the 61st district between 1991 and 1993, as a member of the Democratic Party.
Born in Queens, Glick was educated at Queens College and Fordham University. She operated a printing business and was a deputy director for the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development. The Gay and Lesbian Independent Democrats elected her as its president and splintered due to her opposition to Ed Koch.
Glick was elected to the New York State Assembly in 1990, becoming the first open LGBT person to serve in the state legislature. She has chaired the Ethics and Guidance, Higher Education, and Social Services committees during her tenure. She unsuccessfully sought the Democratic nomination for borough president of Manhattan in 1997.
