South Harbour is a farmstead settlement in the south-west of West Falkland, one of the two major islands of the Falkland Islands. It is also the name of the bay on the shore of which the settlement stands.

The bay is almost closed in by Dyke Island and Tussac Island: these lie in the mouth of the bay and separate it from the Smylie Channel, which separates West Falkland from Weddell Island.

On the north side of the bay, west of the settlement, is Signboard Hill (358 feet).
