Blackwood is an area in Cumbernauld, a town in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. Construction began during the 1990s. It is located north of Westfield Road, Cumbernauld, towards Kirkintilloch.

In a survey in 2000, it was the largest new settlement in Scotland that had not been recognised as a locality in 1991. At the time of the survey, it had a population of 1,470.[1] Since then new housing has been built.[2]

Blackwood is near to Broadwood Stadium, which opened in 1994 and is the home of Clyde Football Club, and is north of Broadwood Loch.[3]
