South is Heather Nova's sixth album.

It spawned the U.S. single "Virus of the Mind". For this album, Nova also recorded a contemporary-styled cover of the standard "Gloomy Sunday", a song originally made popular by Billie Holiday. In retrospect, Nova found the album to be far too polished and not entirely to her liking. She declared that her next album, Storm, would be bare and would be the album she's always wanted to make.

There were two versions of this album; the original release on December 11, 2001, and an American release on May 21, 2002. The U.S. release contained one extra track, "Welcome", which also appeared in the 2005 album Redbird.
