Pollokshields (Scottish Gaelic: Buthan Phollaig, Scots: Powkshiels) is an area in the Southside of Glasgow, Scotland. Its modern boundaries are largely man-made, being formed by the M77 motorway to the west and northwest with the open land of Pollok Country Park and the Dumbreck neighbourhood beyond, by the Inverclyde Line railway and other branches which separate its territory from the largely industrial areas of Kinning Park, Kingston and Port Eglinton, and by the Glasgow South Western Line running from the east to south, bordering Govanhill, Strathbungo, Crossmyloof and Shawlands residential areas. There is also a suburban railway running through the area.

Pollokshields is a conservation area which was developed in Victorian times according to a plan promoted by the original landowners, the Stirling-Maxwells of Pollok, whose association with the area goes as far back as 1270. The core of the area was constructed in two distinct and contrasting styles, with the western part consisting mainly of large villas with gardens along sweeping, undulating tree-lined boulevards, whereas the eastern part (once a separate burgh) is formed by three-storey sandstone tenements typical of many parts of the city from the era, arranged in a tight grid of streets on relatively flat ground. The former Glasgow Corporation Tramways workshops are in Pollokshields and were home to the Glasgow Museum of Transport from 1964 to 1987 and are home to Tramway since 1988.

Pollokshields was established by the Stirling-Maxwell family in 1849, and was set out or 'feued' by the Edinburgh architect David Rhind. Many well-known Glaswegian architects contributed to its development, and it contains villas by Alexander 'Greek' Thomson among others. There are several contributions by contemporaries of Charles Rennie Mackintosh including a series of good 'Glasgow style' tenements by the architect Harry Clifford, who was also responsible for the 'A' listed Pollokshields Burgh Hall, in Scottish Baronial style. The building was inaugurated in 1890 along with the adjoining Maxwell Park, the land for which was given by Sir John Stirling-Maxwell of Nether Pollok in 1888.

Such was its early population growth, Pollokshields attained 'burgh' status in 1876. However, this ended in 1891 when, after being offered favourable tax terms, the residents of the burgh agreed for it to become a suburb of the growing city of Glasgow. The Victorian and Edwardian architecture and the parks of this area have remained almost untouched, leaving the feeling of a leafy Victorian suburb, while being well within the city.

In March 2004, local white youth Kriss Donald was abducted from Kenmure Street in Pollokshields, then tortured and murdered in a racially motivated attack. Five men of Pakistani descent, also from Pollokshields, were later jailed for the crime, four receiving life sentences. The case drew attention to the issue of Asian gang culture and associated crime and violence in the area.

In May 2021, residents came out to protest an attempt from the Home Office to detain two men living on Kenmure Street. Hundreds of people surrounded the van in the street to prevent it from moving, with one man lying under the van for nine hours until it was confirmed that the detainees were to be released. With the help of a lawyer and politicians, including Nicola Sturgeon who discussed it with the UK Home Office, the men were released to the local mosque and allowed back into their homes. The protest led to significant news coverage.

The area was subject to local youths causing disorder relating to fireworks in the period around Bonfire Night (5 November), to the extent that council approval was granted in 2024 for a Fireworks Control Zone (FCZ) to be issued prohibiting their use (the first of its kind in Glasgow); however, the deadline for submission of the relevant paperwork was missed. Although some explosives were seized by police and efforts made to clear streets of flammable debris, more widespread disorder was seen that year, including a car being set alight, rockets being fired at moving vehicles and the setting of a bonfire in the middle of Albert Drive which burned for several hours and had fireworks added to it periodically which exploded at random in the direction of residential homes.

In and around Pollokshields are four primary schools (Pollokshields Primary on Albert Drive; Glendale Primary and Glendale Gaelic School on a shared campus located on the south edge of Pollokshields; and St Albert's Primary on Maxwell Drive) and three secondary schools (Bellahouston Academy, located on the western edge of Pollokshields at the M77 motorway; Shawlands Academy in the Shawlands area approximately a mile south of Pollokshields; and Hutchesons Grammar School, a private school with its senior campus in Pollokshields and its junior and pre-school campus nearby). Craigholme School, another private institution with buildings on Nithsdale Road and St Andrews Drive, closed in 2020.
