Balmore (from the Scottish Gaelic "Baile Mòr" meaning a large settlement) is a small village formerly in the county of Stirlingshire, but now lies in East Dunbartonshire, Scotland, located 1 km west of Torrance and 5 km east of Milngavie.

To the south of Balmore lies The Balmore Haughs and the River Kelvin, which flows east–west before turning south and joining the River Clyde. To the south of the River Kelvin and north of the Forth & Clyde Canal lie several Imperial Roman archaeological sites. The remains of part of the Antonine Wall run east–west, and along it two Roman forts, one Roman fortlet and a Roman camp can all be found within 2 km of Balmore.
