Boghead is a small village in South Lanarkshire, west central Scotland. It is about 23 miles (37 km) southeast of Glasgow and sits nearby to the River Nethan and Avon Water. Boghead is a residential area, with working residents commuting to nearby villages and large towns of Lesmahagow, Strathaven and Lanark.

It originated in the early 19th century around the old Blackwood Estate, as the original inhabitants used to work there.
