The Glasgow Mohawks were an ice hockey team in Glasgow, Scotland. They were founded in 1929 and joined the Scottish League for its inaugural 1929-30 season. Their home arena was the Crossmyloof Ice Rink.

The Mohawks enjoyed instant success, claiming the first ever Scottish League Championship in 1930. They went on to win the league three more times; in 1932, 1936, and 1937. Their latter three victories won them the Canada Cup, which was first awarded in 1931.

They were also successful in Scotland's two cup competitions, the Mitchell Trophy and the President's Pucks. The Mohawks won the former in 1935 and 1936 and claimed the latter outright in three straight years from 1935 to 1937. They also shared the 1933 title with Kelvingrove.

The club struggled to adjust to the onset of semi-professionalism in the Scottish National League in the latter portion of the 1930s, winning the majority of their honors prior to the change. After a poor 1938-39 season, the Mohawks - who had been the most successful in Scotland to date - disbanded.
