South Wight was a borough on the Isle of Wight, created in the local government reform of 1974, alongside the Medina borough which covered the rest of the island. It was formed by the merger of Sandown-Shanklin and Ventnor urban districts and Isle of Wight Rural District.
It was effectively abolished on April 1, 1995 when the borough councils were merged with the county council to form a single unitary authority, the Isle of Wight Council.
