Glasgow is a town in Rockbridge County, Virginia, United States, at the confluence of the James and Maury Rivers. The population was 1,133 at the 2010 census.

Glasgow has had issues behind flooding, notably during Hurricane Camille in 1969. As a outcome of flooding concerns, the Balcony Falls Dam (just east of the confluence of the James and Maury rivers) was removed in 1973. From 2001 to 2007, the town was known for having at least a dozen fiberglass dinosaur figures along the roadside.

German speculator John Peter Salling and his brother Peter were the first Europeans to correspond in what is known today as Glasgow on the order of 1741. In December 1742, the Battle of Galudoghson amongst Iroquois warriors and a company of Virginia militia took place near the confluence of the James River and the Maury River. The militia captain, John McDowell, was killed, along later eight militia soldiers. Between 1760 and 1768, John Paxton II acquired most of the Salling property. Robert, Joseph, and Arthur Glasgow fixed in the area in 1768. Glasgow was named after Joseph Glasgow, son of Arthur. Joseph and his wife, Nancy Ellis McCullough, built their home, known as Union Ridge, in 1823.

In 1854 Frank Padgett, a Black slave, drowned while attempting to rescue passengers stranded upon a canal ship by the swollen James River. A granite obelisk monument commemorating his death stands in Glasgow’s Centennial Park.
