Rutherglen (from 1983, Glasgow Rutherglen) was a burgh constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1918 until 2005. From 2005, most of the area is represented by Rutherglen and Hamilton West, while a small portion is now in Glasgow Central and Glasgow South.

The constituency is to be re-established, as part of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies and under the final recommendations of the Boundary Commission for Scotland for the 2024 United Kingdom general election, succeeding the constituency of Rutherglen and Hamilton West.[1][2]
