South Tipperary (Tiobraid Árann Theas in Irish), known until 2002 as Tipperary South Riding, is an administrative county in the Republic of Ireland, consisting of 52% of the land area of the historical county of Tipperary. South Tipperary was established in 1898 and has had a county council ever since, with separate assize courts since 1838. The main town and capital is Clonmel. Other important urban centres include Carrick-on-Suir, Cashel, Cahir, and Tipperary Town.

Brendan McSherry, the Heritage Officer with South Tipperary County Council has stated that "Although local people's identification is generally with the historic (and sporting) county, nevertheless we are two completely separate counties, in different government regions, for all administrative purposes". The different regions refer to the fact that South Tipperary is legally defined as being in the South-East and falls under the control of that regional authority, while North Tipperary is regarded as being in the Mid-West.

Vital statistics for 2004 released by the Central Statistics Office show that South Tipperary has the lowest rate of neo-natal mortality in the country, at 0.9 occurrences per 1000 people. This compares with 2.9 for North Tipperary, and 3.4 for Dublin City.
