Southland Astronomical Society Observatory is situated on the western side of the Southland Museum and Art Gallery, Invercargill, New Zealand, and is the country's southernmost observatory.

Public viewing nights are each Wednesday, 7pm to 9pm, from April to September while daylight saving time is not in effect.

The primary telescope in use is a fork mounted 30cm (12 inch) diameter Cassegrain design. The telescope can also be operated in the classical Newtonian configuration by removing the secondary mirror.
