Glasgow Green was a railway station in the east end of Glasgow, Scotland. The station has been closed twice, firstly on 1 January 1917 and again on 2 November 1953.

The station was opened on 1 November 1895, and (after the 1917 closing) re-opened on 1 June 1919. Today the station sits on the Argyle Line of the Glasgow suburban railway network, but no plans exist to re-open the station and the platforms have been removed. All that remains of the building is the southern and western walls, the windows and doorways of which have been bricked up. The lettering of the station name is the same style used at other Caledonian Stations, most notably the main canopy of Glasgow Central.
