Region 10 was an administrative district in the city of Johannesburg, South Africa. It included most of Soweto. Soweto is a composite name, standing for South-Western Townships. So even this eastern region of it lay not to the south of central Johannesburg, but south of Florida. Its northern boundary was shared with Region 4 (Northcliff).

On its longest stretch, in the west, the boundary seamlessly joined Region 10 to Region 6 (Soweto). On the east it was separated from Region 9 (Johannesburg South) by the Western Bypass of the N1, and its southern neighbour wasRegion 11 (Ennerdale/Orange Farm).

The region was abolished with a reorganistion of regions in 2006.^[1]
