South is a constituency of the European Parliament in Ireland. It elects 4 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) using the single transferable vote form of proportional representation (PR-STV).

The constituency was created in 2004 as a successor to the Munster constituency, with County Clare being moved to the North-West constituency. It comprised the counties of Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Tipperary and Waterford; and the cities of Cork, Limerick and Waterford.

For the 2014 European Parliament election, the constituency was increased in size by the addition of counties Carlow, Clare, Kilkenny, Wexford and Wicklow; and the number of seats was increased to 4.
