Glasgow Cathcart (Gaelic: Glaschu Cathcart) is a constituency of the Scottish Parliament (Holyrood), being one of eight constituencies within the Glasgow City council area. It elects one Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) by the plurality (first past the post) method of election. It is also one of nine constituencies in the Glasgow electoral region, which elects seven additional members, in addition to nine constituency MSPs, to produce a form of proportional representation for the region as a whole.
The seat has been held by James Dornan of the Scottish National Party since the 2011 Scottish Parliament election.
As a result of the second periodic review of Scottish Parliament boundaries in 2025, the constituency will be abolished from the 2026 Scottish Parliament election. Most of Glasgow Cathcart will form part of the new seat of Glasgow Cathcart and Pollok, with a portion also being transferred to Glasgow Southside.
