The Lord Provost of Glasgow is the convener of the City of Glasgow council. They are elected by the city councillors and serve not only as the chair of that body, but as a figurehead for the entire city. They are equivalent in many ways to the institution of mayor that exists in many other countries.

Each of the 32 Scottish local authorities elects a provost, but it is only the four main cities, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Dundee that have a Lord Provost, who also serves as the Lord Lieutenant for the city. This is enshrined in the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1994.

The current Lord Provost, elected to the position in 2007, is Bob Winter.

List of Provosts and Lord Provosts

The Mediaeval burgh of Glasgow was administered on behalf of the Bishops of Glasgow by officials known as Bailies' or Provosts'. The office of Provost as a single chief magistrate was not created until the early 1450s.
