Baldernock (Gaelic: Baile Deàrnaig) is a small parish in East Dunbartonshire Council Area (formerly in Stirlingshire) in Scotland, ten miles (16 km) to the north of Glasgow's city centre.

The parish is approximately 12 square miles (31 km2), bounded by the Campsie Fells to the north and east, the Allander Water and River Kelvin to the south, and the Pow Burn to the west. It is centred around Baldernock Parish Church, which is under the jurisdiction of the Presbytery of Dumbarton.
