Jordanhill is a mainly middle-class area of the city of Glasgow, Scotland. It is characterised by its detached and semi-detached style of housing, unusual for Glasgow which is predominantly made up of tenemental style property.

The area was home to the Jordanhill Teacher Training College, which has subsequently merged with the University of Strathclyde.

Jordanhill School is the only state school in Scotland which receives its funding directly from the Scottish Executive, rather than through a local authority.

Jordanhill is situated in the West End of Glasgow. It boasts Scotlands only free semi private school which is grant aided by the scottish executive. The current rector is Paul Thompson who has recently implimented i.t. throughout the school which is very popular with the pupils. Jordanhill has a few chinese takeaways, a train station, a petrol garage and a couple of newsagents.

The two pubs in the locality are Pablos (which changed its name from Cafe Tantalus and before that it was Pablo's with Picasso's restaurant above which is now occupied by The Sisters restaraunt)

The other pub is the new but established pub "The Three Craws"
