Rutherglen and Cambuslang is a new constituency of the Scottish Parliament (Holyrood) which will elect one Member of the Scottish Parliament (MSP) by the first past the post method of election. The seat was created for the 2026 Scottish Parliament election.

As the name suggests, its area covers the adjoining towns of Rutherglen and Cambuslang as well as the separate and smaller town of Blantyre, all situated within the South Lanarkshire local authority area. Its boundaries are unchanged from those of the 2011–2026 Rutherglen constituency, with the name change recommended by the Boundary Commission to differentiate from the Rutherglen constituency of the UK Parliament which had been re-introduced in 2024 (and covers a similar but wider area, also including Bothwell and Uddingston). For list seats, Rutherglen and Cambuslang will continue to be grouped in the Glasgow region.
