The South River is a 63.5-mile-long (102.2 km)[1] tributary of the Ocmulgee River in the U.S. state of Georgia. It originates in the city of East Point in Fulton County and eventually flows into Lake Jackson, joining the Yellow River and Alcovy River to form the Ocmulgee.

The present name "South River" is derived from shortening and alteration of the original name South Branch Ocmulgee River.

In 2021, non-profit American Rivers named the South River the 4th most endangered river in the United States, citing "the egregious threat that ongoing sewage pollution poses to clean water and public health."[3]
