The Southern Mallee District Council is a local government area in the Murray Mallee region of South Australia. The council offices are in Pinnaroo and Lameroo.[3] It was established on 1 July 1997 when the District Council of Lameroo and District Council of Pinnaroo agreed to merge. Their predecessors date from 1908.[4]

Towns and localities in the council area are Geranium, Gurrai, Karte, Kulkami, Lameroo, Parilla, Parrakie, Pinnaroo, Wilkawatt. Some of these have become no more than localities on a map as farms amalgamate, but others are still viable country towns, especially the ones along the Mallee Highway. The largest are Pinnaroo and Lameroo with populations of 700 and 600 respectively.

The neighbouring councils are Tatiara District Council to the south, Coorong District Council to the southwest, District Council of Karoonda East Murray to the north west, District Council of Loxton Waikerie to the north, and the Victorian border to the east.
