Overtown is a village in North Lanarkshire located next to the bigger town of Wishaw. It has a population of 2,500.

The village only has a few buildings of note, Clyde Valley High School, which is located to the North-West, and Overtown Primary School.

The A71 road, that links Edinburgh with Ayrshire, passes through Overtown. The road is the main street of the village. It is located on the edge of the Clyde Valley, and is only 1 mile (1.6 kilometres) away from Garrion Bridge. The West Coast Main Line also passes through the village, but no passenger service trains stop there.
