South Granville is an upscale Business Improvement Area (BIA) south of Vancouver's downtown core and bordered by the neighbourhoods of Kitsilano, Fairview and Shaughnessy.

Separated from downtown by False Creek, the area runs along Granville St. from Granville Island up an at times fairly steep rise to 16th Ave, where the shops are replaced by the residences of Shaughnessy.

As well as being a fast-growing neighbourhood of residences, shops and restaurants, South Granville is also contains a strip, between Broadway and the foot of the Granville Bridge known as "Gallery Row" which is home to a number of art galleries.

It is also home to the historic Stanley Theatre, built in 1930.
