The FA Women's National League Southern Division is a league in the Third level in the women's football pyramid in England, along with the Northern division. These two divisions are part of the FA Women's National League and below the FA Women's Super League and FA Women's Championship.

The league is played on a home and away basis, with each team playing each other twice, and points being awarded in the standard football format. The bottom two clubs are relegated, also on a geographical basis, to the Division One South West, and Division One South East.

Southern Championship teams are eligible to play in the Women's National League Cup as well as the FA Women's Cup.
