List of provosts of Glasgow

The Right Honourable Lord Provost of Glasgow is the convener of the Glasgow City Council. The Lord Provost serves both as the chair of the city council and as a figurehead for the entire city, and is elected by the city councillors from among its members at the council's first meeting. The office is equivalent in many ways to the institution of mayor that exists in the cities of many other countries.
