Mugdock is a hamlet in Stirling, Scotland. It lies to the south of the village of Strathblane, and was in the civil parish.

In the past the hamlet had more significance.

In the year 750 a battle was recorded in the Annals of Ulster ahs having taken place 'between the Picts and the Britons'. Talorgan son of Uurgust, brother of Unust king of the Picts, died there. The battle is also recorded by the medieval Welsh text Annales Cambriae which names the battle site as Mocetauc. This is fairly plausibly explained as Mugdock, which lies roughly in the area where the ancient Pictish and British kingdoms must have met.

It was considered the main village of the civil parish of Strathblane. However, since the 19th century it has shrunk down to a small collection of houses.^[1] This means that Mugdock is now a hamlet.

Despite being located in Stirling, it has a G62 postcode.

Mugdock Country Park is located outside of the hamlet.
