Partick (Scots: Pairtick, Scottish Gaelic: Partaig) is an area of Glasgow on the north bank of the River Clyde, just across from Govan.

To the west lies Whiteinch, to the east Yorkhill and Kelvingrove Park (across the River Kelvin), and to the north Broomhill, Hyndland, Dowanhill, Hillhead, areas which form part of the West End of Glasgow.

Partick, of old Perdyec, from the Gaelic aper dhu ec, meaning the place at the confluence or mouth of the dark river.

The Kings of Strathclyde had a residence there, and in 1136 David I (1124–1153) granted the lands of Perdyc to the see of Glasgow.

It was later the site of Partick Castle, a country home of George Hutcheson (demolished 1836).

Traditional industries for the area were shipbuilding and the huge Meadowside Granary (recently demolished to make way for the new Glasgow Harbour residential development) employed many residents also.

It is the oldest community group in Partick and consists of around twenty elected members.

Partick's Catholic community is served by St Peter's church situated in Hyndland Street.
