The Glasgow Academy is a private coeducational day school for pupils aged 3–18 in Glasgow, Scotland.

It is one of the top performing independent schools in Scotland for SQA Higher Results in 2025.

Founded in 1845, it is the oldest continuously fully independent school in Glasgow, Scotland. In 1991, The Glasgow Academy merged with Westbourne School for Girls, adopting the distinctive purple of its uniform in the school badge and tartan. It is located in the Kelvinbridge area and has approximately 1680 pupils, split between three preparatory school sites and senior school.

The current Rector is Dr Matt Gibson, who has held the position since January 2025.
