The Block: Glasshouse is the ninth season of Australian reality television series The Block, that premiered on Sunday, 27 July 2014 at 6:30 pm on the Nine Network. Scott Cam (host) and Shelley Craft (Challenge Master) returned from the previous season, as did the three judges: Neale Whitaker, Shaynna Blaze and Darren Palmer. It is the second season to have five couples appear on the show, instead of four.

The Block Glasshouse building is at 121-127 High Street Prahran, Melbourne. The building is double the size of The Block: Fans vs Faves building, Dux House, and is the biggest block to date. For a first in any block season, not only do the judges vote on the contestants rooms, but the contestants judge each other's rooms. Shannon and Simon Voss were the eventual winners of the show with a $335,000 profit on a sale price of $1.9 million plus an additional $100,000 bonus prize.

Contestants

The Block Glasshouse includes five teams rather than the conventional four teams in other block series. The Block Glasshouse contestants include:
