The Glasgow University Students' Representative Council, also known simply as the Students' Representative Council or by the acronyms GUSRC and SRC is a student union at the University of Glasgow. Unlike at other universities in the United Kingdom, the University of Glasgow operates a unique system, with four separate and independent bodies providing services to the student body. In contrast with the Glasgow University Union, Queen Margaret Union, and Glasgow University Sports Association, which provide social and sporting facilities for their members respectively, the SRC is responsible for representing the views and interests of the student body to the University.

The Glasgow University Students' Representative Council, also known simply as the Students' Representative Council or by the acronyms GUSRC and SRC is a student union at the University of Glasgow. Unlike at other universities in the United Kingdom, the University of Glasgow operates a unique system, with four separate and independent bodies providing services to the student body. In contrast with the Glasgow University Union, Queen Margaret Union, and Glasgow University Sports Association, which provide social and sporting facilities for their members respectively, the SRC is responsible for representing the views and interests of the student body to the University. The Students’ Representative Council is recognised as the only representative body at the University under the Universities (Scotland) Act 1889 and subsequent enactments. The other student bodies have limited representation on University Committees to enable the University to support their work, but the SRC is the only representative body and consequently the only student body to hold positions on the University Senate and University Court. Upon enrolment at the University, all students automatically become members of the SRC, although they are entitled to opt-out of this membership. In addition to its representative function, the Students’ Representative Council runs events for students at the University. These include the University’s Freshers’ Week (in collaboration with the other student bodies) and its Freshers’ Fair; welfare initiatives; support for 300 clubs and societies; and housing and funding the University's Glasgow Guardian newspaper and other student media. Originally located in Pearce Lodge, the SRC is now housed in the McIntyre Building on University Avenue.
