The Division of Southern Melbourne was an Australian Electoral Division in the state of Victoria. It was located in the inner southern area of Melbourne, and included the suburbs of Albert Park, St Kilda, South Melbourne and South Yarra.
The Division was proclaimed in 1901, and was one of the original 75 divisions to be contested at the first Federal election. At the redistribution of 13 July 1906, it was abolished and replaced by the Division of Fawkner, which was itself abolished in 1969.
