Glasgow Cross is a major junction in the city centre of Glasgow, which has, at its centre, five streets running from it: the High Street to the north, Gallowgate and London Road heading east, the Saltmarket to the south, and the Trongate running west to the Merchant City.
At the Townhead (north-east) interchange, a complex grade separated junction was laid out to connect the North Flank of the ring to three roads proposed or under construction (the East Flank, the A803 Springburn Expressway, and to the Monklands Motorway to carry traffic out of the city to the east and on to Edinburgh) and to the existing A8 road towards Dennistoun and Glasgow Cross.

It is generally regarded as the de facto centre of the city, although Blythswood Square (1 km to the west) is the true geographical centre of the city, whilst all distances are measured from nearby Glasgow Cross.
