Kent South (French: Kent-sud) is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada. Its current MLA is Claude Williams, a Progressive Conservative.
It was originally created in 1973 with the southern third of Kent County, centred primarily around the town of Bouctouche. It was largely unchanged in the 1994 redistribution. In 2006 it lost the Bouctouche area to Kent. In the 2013 redistribution its northern half was merged with the southern half of Kent, causing it to regain Bouctouche and add several rural areas to its north, but lose much the extreme southern part of Kent County around Cocagne.
