Southland Region

 is the southernmost local government region of New Zealand. It adjoins the southern and south-western portions of the coast of the South Island, the Otago Region to the north-east, and the West Coast Region to the north.

Chief population centre is Invercargill. Others include Gore, Mataura, Winton, Riverton, Bluff, and Te Anau.

The region comprises most of the former Southland Province (1861-1870) and the western 40% of the Otago Province (1852-1876).
