Gibshill (sometimes spelt as Gibbshill and often referred to as The Gibby) is the eastern-most housing estate in Greenock and adjoins Port Glasgow, both in the Inverclyde Council Area, Scotland. It is served by Bogston railway station.
Gibshill is currently undergoing redevelopment. Until recently consisting mostly of tenements, the area has in recent years undergone much demolition. There are no shops in Gibshill since the shopping district's demolition. Large expanses of grass exist where housing once stood. New housing, both council-owned and private sector, is planned to regenerate the area with some already built in Cobham St, Bell St (both private) and Shankland Grove (council) already built. New houses are being constructed on Lansbury street along with 80 to 100 private houses being constructed on the eastern side of Gibshill.
Wildlife is now common in the area with many rabbits and deer coming from the nearby moors. From Gibshill the houses all face north toward the Highlands.
