For other uses, see Cathcart (disambiguation).

Cathcart (Coille Chart in Gaelic) is an area of Glasgow between Mount Florida, King's Park, Muirend and Newlands. The River Cart flows through it.

Originally part of the Burgh of Govan in Renfrewshire, most of the ancient parish was annexed by the City of Glasgow in 1912, but it retains a distinct local identity. Cathcart is mainly a residential area, containing a mix of tenements, terraces and villas built from red or blonde sandstone. There are some historic buildings, including the Couper Institute (a public hall and library) and the Snuff Mill. One of Alexander Thomson's most significant buildings, Holmwood House, is situated in Cathcart, lying just inside the present day city boundary.

Local industry includes the engineering group Weir, and Scottish Power.

Cathcart is served by Cathcart railway station on the Cathcart Circle Line, as well as numerous bus routes.
