Glasgow Easterhouse and Springburn is a burgh constituency of the Scottish Parliament covering part of the City of Glasgow.[2] It elects one Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) by the first past the post method of election. Under the additional-member electoral system used for elections to the Scottish Parliament, it is also one of eight constituencies in the Glasgow electoral region, which elects seven additional members, in addition to eight constituency MSPs, to produce a form of proportional representation for the region as a whole.[3] The seat was created at the second periodic review of Scottish Parliament boundaries in 2025, and was first contested at the 2026 Scottish Parliament election. It covers areas that were formerly within the constituencies of Glasgow Maryhill and Springburn and Glasgow Provan, which were abolished as a result of this review.[4]

The constituency has been represented by Ivan McKee of the Scottish National Party since the 2026 election. McKee had served as the member for Glasgow Provan prior to this election.
