The Southern Region (Maltese: Reġjun Nofsinhar) is one of six regions of Malta. The region covers the southeastern part of the main island of Malta. The region borders the Northern, Eastern, Port and Western Regions.
It was created by the Act No. XVI of 2009 out of parts of Malta Majjistral and Malta Xlokk. Act No. XIV of 2019, which led to a regional reform in 2021, significantly altered the region's borders and composition, and reduced its local councils from 14 to 12.
