The National Piping Centre is an institution in Glasgow, Scotland, dedicated to the playing of the bagpipes, to include not only the Great Highland Bagpipes, but also the Scottish smallpipes and Irish uileann pipes, as well as other traditional musical instruments.

The institution includes practice spaces, an auditorium, and the Museum of Piping.

In 2018, the National Piping Centre formally merged with the College of Piping, another historic Glasgow-based piping institution, to become the National Piping Centre incorporating the College of Piping, further consolidating its role as a central hub for piping education and heritage in Scotland.

It is located in the Cowcaddens district of the city, in the former Cowcaddens Free Church. The building is Category B listed. Following the merger with the College of Piping, it obtained the College's building on Otago Street, in Glasgow's West End.
