Douglas Academy is a secondary school on the Mains Estate in Milngavie in the outskirts of Glasgow. In 2001, Douglas Academy was Scotland's top performing state school with 31% of students gaining Five or more highers.

The school is named after the Douglas Family, who were the previous owners of the estate and donated the land for educational purposes. It is built on the site where the gardens were originally situated, and rare plants can still be found there today. The school was opened on 2 November 1967.

The new Douglas Academy building is soon to be under construction- replacing the old school with a modern new look. The school is said to be bigger, more spacious and better equipped than the previous building. Work recently started, and is due to finish in about three years or so.
