Baillieston (Ward 20) is one of the 23 wards of Glasgow City Council.[2] On its creation in 2007 and in 2012 it returned four council members, using the single transferable vote system.[3] For the 2017 Glasgow City Council election, the boundaries were changed: the ward decreased in size and population, and returned three members.

Located in the far east of Glasgow, the core of the ward since 2007 includes Baillieston as well as Barrachnie, Garrowhill, Springhill, Swinton, Wellhouse, Easthall, Daldowie and Broomhouse with the northern boundary being the M8 motorway) and the eastern and southern limits being the city borders with North Lanarkshire and South Lanarkshire.[4]

The 2017 changes saw the neighbourhoods of Barlanark, Budhill, Greenfield, Lightburn and Springboig removed and assigned to the East Centre ward.
