Glasgow Provan (Gaelic: Glaschu Provan) was a constituency of the Scottish Parliament, being one of eight constituencies within the Glasgow City council area. Under the additional-member system used for elections to the Scottish Parliament, the seat elected one Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) by the plurality (first past the post) method of election, and was also one of nine constituencies in the Glasgow electoral region, which elected seven additional members, in addition to the nine constituency MSPs, to produce a form of proportional representation for the region as a whole.
The constituency was created ahead of the 2011 Scottish Parliament election, and covered much of the area of the Glasgow Baillieston constituency, which was abolished.
The seat was held by Ivan McKee of the Scottish National Party from the 2016 Scottish Parliament election until its abolition in 2026.
As a result of the second periodic review of Scottish Parliament boundaries in 2025, the constituency was abolished ahead of the 2026 Scottish Parliament election. The area covered by Glasgow Provan has been divided between the two new seats of Glasgow Baillieston and Shettleston and Glasgow Easterhouse and Springburn.
