Helensburgh is an affluent coastal town in Argyll and Bute council area, Scotland, sitting at the intersection of the Firth of Clyde, East Clyde and the Gareloch. It has its own Community Council. Until local government reorganisation in 1996, Helensburgh was in Dumbarton District and Strathclyde Region; prior to 1975 it was a small burgh with its own town council within Dunbartonshire.

In the Middle Ages it was within the Earldom of Lennox, an area sometimes referred to as the Lennox. It lies on the north shore of the Firth of Clyde and the mouth of the Gareloch is close to the western boundary of the town.
