Gartcosh (Scottish Gaelic: Gart Cois) is a village in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. The village lies about 8 miles (13 kilometres) east of Glasgow, and about 1 mile (2 kilometres) northwest of the town of Coatbridge.[2]

According to a 2012 estimate, the population of Gartcosh was 2,130 people.[3] Expansion of the village including 300 homes in the Heathfield Park estate built by Redrow Homes[4] and new developments by Oak NGate (Gartloch Avenue/Bishop Loch), Avant Homes (Johsnton Loch) and Bellway Homes (Oakwood) have increased the population.
