Southland County was one of the counties of New Zealand in the South Island. Created in 1876, it was in the eastern part of Southland Region.

The county was abolished in 1989, with most of it being merged into Southland District, the exceptions were the Gore and Mataura areas taken into Gore District, and Bluff became part of Invercargill; many places near Invercargill, formerly in the county, also became part of the city.
