A college of physicians and surgeons in Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom. Founded 1519, it originally existed as a regulatory authority to ensure that physicians, surgeons and dentists were well trained. They previously offered a Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow which entitled the bearer to practice medicine, and was, until 1999, registerable with the General Medical Council as a primary medical degree as a part of the "Scottish Triple Conjoint Diploma".

They are now mainly concerned with postgraduate medical education, offering Membership and Fellowship to appropriately qualified physicians, surgeons and dentists. They also offer a number of specialist postgraduate diplomas to medical practitioners in various subjects including dermatology, child health, geriatric medicine, travel health, ophthalmology, and dentistry.
