South Bruce is a municipality in Bruce County, Ontario, Canada.
South Bruce was created in 1999 as part of county-wide municipal restructuring. In 1998, the Township of Culross and the Village of Teeswater amalgamated to form the Township of Teeswater-Culross. Similarly, the Village of Mildmay joined with the Township of Carrick to form the Township of Mildmay-Carrick. The following year, both Mildmay-Carrick and Teeswater-Culross amalgamated again to form South Bruce, choosing Teeswater as the seat of the municipality.
The two main population centres in South Bruce are Mildmay and Teeswater. Other communities within the municipal boundaries are Carlsruhe, Deemerton, Formosa and Salem.
