Pseudoscalar mesons and glueballs are studied in a model based on the AdS/QCD correspondence. Glueball masses are obtained in the pure-gauge case, while the mixing between pseudoscalar glueballs and singlet pseudoscalar mesons produces the expected mass of the η′ meson. The topological susceptibility is computed as a function of the quark mass. The model reproduces partial conservation of axial current, the anomaly equation, and the Witten-Veneziano relation.
