Terrestrial, celestial and planetary South Poles
*South Pole (also known as the "Geographic South Pole" or "Terrestrial South Pole") – the southernmost point on Earth.
*South Magnetic Pole – the shifting point on the Earth's surface where the Earth's magnetic field points directly upwards.
*South Geomagnetic Pole – the point of intersection of the Earth's surface with the axis of a simple magnetic dipole (like a bar magnet) that best approximates the Earth's actual more complex magnetic field.
*Southern Pole of Inaccessibility – the point in Antarctica furthest from the sea.
*South Celestial Pole – an imaginary point in the southern sky towards which the Earth's axis of rotation points.

Physics
* Originally by analogy with the earth's magnetic field, the terms "north pole" and "south pole" are also applied to magnets in general, in order to distinguish one "end" of the magnet from the other. For this use see under Magnet and Magnetism.
Other
* South Pole (Clothing), a clothing company.
