Colston is a district in the Scottish city of Glasgow. It is situated north of the River Clyde.

The main road through Colston is the A803 (Springburn Road), which then becomes Kirkintilloch Road once past Colston to the north through Bishopbriggs.

Colston Secondary School closed in the early 1990s but much of the building remains and has been converted into laboratories which are used by Scottish Water. Most children in the Colston area now attend the re-built Springburn Academy. Stobhill Hospital is the nearest hospital. The nearest shopping centres are Springburn Shopping Centre and Bishopbriggs town centre. However, there is a supermarket and several take-away shops within the Colston area.
