Cardonald is a suburb of the Scottish city of Glasgow. It lies on the southside of the city and its southern boundary is marked by the White Cart Water. The land was part on Renfrewshire until it was brought into Glasgow in 1926.

The lands of Cardonald were the property of the Stewarts of Cardonald, a junior branch of the House of Stewart. The Place of Cardonald, built in 1565, was demolished and replaced by a farmhouse in 1848. The land was later owned by the Lords of Blantyre from the 17th century to the 20th century. In the 1930s Glasgow Corporation bought the Cardonald Estates and built flatted cottages and other housing. Cardonald College was opened in 1972.
