Southcoates is an urban area in the eastern part of Kingston upon Hull, England.
A named habitation at Southcoates dates to at least the 11th century, during the medieval period the place was a small hamlet, associated with Drypool. The urban growth of Hull expanded over Southcoates in the late 19th and early 20th century, and the place subsequently gave its name to council wards.
The area of Southcoates centred on the former village is predominately urban housing. The southern part of the Southcoates area is adjacent to the Humber Estuary, and was originally wetlands; a large amount of land was reclaimed southwards on the foreshore during the construction of the Alexandra Dock in the 1880s; this land and adjacent areas are in predominately industrial and dock use.
