Glasgow Soldier's Home was a respite for soldiers and their wives near Maryhill Barracks in Glasgow. It was completed in 1899. This was established by Mrs Alice Osborne as a mission to the Garrison.[1]

The building is category 'C' listed.[2] It is at 1236 Maryhill Road, Glasgow, on the corner of Ruchill Street. Construction was started in 1892,[3] triggering other similar facilities to be built at Redford Barracks in Edinburgh and Barry Buddon outside Dundee. For a fee soldiers could rent a room. The newlywed soldiers could spend their honeymoon night there. It also offered a tearoom and a quiet room.[4][5] Described as "a neat edifice open to visitors".[6] An honorary superindendant who served for 24 years was Willamina Davidson OBE raised substantial sums and was involved in the Edinburgh and Barry Buddon facilities.

As of 2017 the building is in use as Framptons nightclub.
