Langshot is an area in the city of Glasgow, Scotland, situated south of the River Clyde.

Langshot has had a long history of regeneration. Originally a farm[1] sold off by the Rowan Family of Bellahouston and Govan, it was at one time occupied by George Hamilton, well-known for keeping racing pigeons.[2] The farm was demolished to make way for a council housing estate during the 20th century.

Langshot was brought into the Kinning Park burgh in the late 1800s; the latter became one of Glasgow's largest districts. The M77 and M8 were built in later years, which left the area of Langshot separate from Kinning Park once again.
