Garrowhill (Scots: Garraehill or Garrahull, Scottish Gaelic: An Cnoc Garbh) is a residential area within the wider Baillieston suburb of Glasgow, Scotland. It is situated approximately 7 miles (11 km) east of the city centre.

Garrowhill was developed as a residential area in the mid-1930s, built as an upmarket housing development neighbouring the then village of Baillieston.

Although sometimes considered separate from Baillieston, Garrowhill along with Swinton and Barrachnie are within the Baillieston Ward of Glasgow City Council.
