Southville is an inner city ward of Bristol, England, on the south bank of the River Avon northwest of Bedminster.

The subsequent post-war rebuilding is noticeable on many streets, where the generic style of house building changes to modern construction.

There are many artists living in the area; during the annual Arts Trail which ended in 2018, they opened their houses to the public to show and sell their work.

Southville Community Development Association (SCDA) is a local community-led organisation that supports many local projects and also runs the Southville Centre - a community centre, café, nursery, after-school club and older people's Monday club.

[8] Southville forms a part of the Bristol South parliamentary constituency, currently represented by Karin Smyth.
