Broomhill (Scottish Gaelic: Cnoc a' Bhealaidh) is an affluent district in the West End of the city of Glasgow, Scotland. North of the River Clyde, it is bounded by the districts of Thornwood and Partick to the south, Hyndland to the east, and Jordanhill, Scotstoun and Victoria Park to the west.

The main streets in the district are Crow Road (Scottish Gaelic: Rathad na Feannaig) and Broomhill Drive (Scottish Gaelic: Dràibh Chnoc a' Bhealaidh). Crow Road is a main artery in the West End and provides links to Partick at its south end and Anniesland at its north end.

Transport to and from the area is supported by First Glasgow bus services 4 & 16 along Crow Road, and various "dial buses" on Broomhill Drive, and the nearby train stations of Hyndland and Jordanhill.

It is a wealthy neighbourhood populated mainly by businessmen, lawyers, GPs, professionals (many employed at the nearby University of Glasgow) and a number of noted authors, poets, actors, comedians and footballers. Average property prices in the area are considerably higher than the Glasgow or Scottish averages.
