We report the first lattice QCD calculation of the glue spin in the nucleon. The lattice calculation is carried out with valence overlap fermions on 2+1 flavor DWF gauge configurations on four lattice spacings and four volumes including an ensemble with physical values for the quark masses. The glue spin S_G in the Coulomb gauge in the MSbar scheme is obtained with the 1-loop perturbative matching. We find the results fairly insensitive to lattice spacing and quark masses. We also find that the proton momentum dependence of S_G in the range 0≤|p|<1.5 GeV is very mild, and we determine it in the large momentum limit to be S_G= 0.251(47)(16) at the physical pion mass in the MSbar scheme at μ^2= 10 GeV^2. If the matching procedure in large momentum effective theory is neglected, S_G is equal to the glue helicity measured in high-energy scattering experiments.
