This article is about the defunct federal electoral district. For the provincial electoral district, see Edmonton-South.

Edmonton South was a federal electoral district in Alberta, Canada, that was represented in the House of Commons of Canada from 1979 to 1988. This riding was created in 1976 from parts of Edmonton West and Pembina ridings.

It was abolished in 1987 when it was redistributed into Edmonton Southwest and Edmonton—Strathcona ridings.

In April 2025, the son of 1980 Liberal candidate, Bob (Professor Robert) Carney (1933-2009), Mark Carney was elected Prime Minister of Canada.
