Eastwood was a local government district in the Strathclyde region.

It was derived from the civil parish of Eastwood which had been within the county of Renfrewshire, though latterly included areas which had become annexed Lanarkshire and the expanding city of Glasgow.

Local government across mainland Scotland was reorganised in 1975 under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, which replaced the counties, burghs and landward districts with a two-tier system comprising upper-tier regions and lower-tier districts.

Renfrewshire County Council and the First District Council (which had covered the parishes of Eaglesham, Mearns, and the parts of the parishes of Cathcart and Eastwood outside the borders of Glasgow) were abolished.

[5] The council built itself a new headquarters nearby in the grounds of Eastwood Park, moving into the new building in 1980.
