Glaskogen is a nature reserve in the west of middle Sweden, comprising the two lakes Stora Gla and Övre Gla.

The reserve was established in 1970 by the County Administration of Värmland, which led to the formation of the Gla Forest Foundation in 1972 by the four local municipalities Arvika, Eda, Säffle and Årjäng.
