The Institute for Gravitational Research of the University of Glasgow, United Kingdom, is a research center dedicated to the subject of gravitational waves.

The institute is part of the School of Physics and Astronomy. The work of this institute is concentrated on the development of detectors to search for gravitational waves from astrophysical sources. The main areas of research are precision novel interferometric techniques and the development of systems of ultra low mechanical loss for the suspensions of mirror test masses.

The group is also involved in the space-based LISA mission as well as data analysis activities within the LIGO Scientific Collaboration.
