Sør-Aukra is a former municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.

On 1 January 1965, Sør-Aukra was merged with the island of Dryna and the rest of the island of Midøya, both from Vatne Municipality, to form the new Midsund Municipality.

The mayor was indirectly elected by a vote of the municipal council.
