Okanagan South was a provincial electoral district in the Canadian province of British Columbia beginning with the election of 1979 and lasting until the 1986 election. The riding is similar to, but not the same as, its main predecessor, South Okanagan, which expired in 1975 but had been the longtime seat of Okanagan South's first member's father W.A.C. Bennett. The area of the riding was originally part of the Yale riding until 1890, and when first that riding was broken up the Okanagan was in Yale-East (1894-1900), and then in Okanagan (1903-1912), and then since that time until 1975 in South Okanagan.
