Gartloch Hospital, Category A listed psychiatric hospital in Glasgow, United Kingdom.

The hospital complex features French Renaissance architectural elements with a grand central administration building and extended patient wings on each side.

Established in 1896 as Gartloch Asylum, the facility operated continuously until 1996, serving as both a psychiatric hospital and emergency center during World War II.

The hospital exterior appeared in the 1993 BBC television series Takin' Over the Asylum, representing the fictional St. Jude's Hospital setting.

The administration building, while currently derelict, received approval in 2019 for conversion into twelve residential apartments within its preserved structure.

During its peak operation in 1904, the facility maintained 830 beds and included a separate tuberculosis sanatorium within its extensive grounds.
