Tipperary South was a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas, from 1948 to 2016. The method of election was the single transferable vote form of proportional representation (PR-STV).

It was made up of the administrative county of South Tipperary, some areas in North Tipperary and also a small portion of County Waterford to the south of Clonmel.
