South Brother is a mountain located in Piscataquis County, Maine. South Brother is flanked to the southwest by Mount Coe, and to the northeast by North Brother; collectively the two are called "The Brothers".

The northeast and southeast sides of South Brother drain into a swampy area called "The Klondike", thence into Wassataquoik Stream, the East Branch of the Penobscot River, and into Penobscot Bay. The west sides of South Brother drain into Roaring Brook, Nesowadnehunk Stream, and the West Branch of the Penobscot River.

The Appalachian Trail, a 2,170-mile (3,500-km) National Scenic Trail from Georgia to Maine, reaches it northern terminus, Mount Katahdin, 5 mi. (8 km) to the southeast of The Brothers.
