South Vancouver was a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of British Columbia. It first appeared on the hustings in the general election of 1916 (South Vancouver then was incorporated separately from the City of Vancouver).
Following the 1928 election the South Vancouver riding was redistributed. Parts of it were put in different ridings, principally Vancouver-Point Grey, Vancouver Centre and Vancouver East.
