L'Índia del Sud, Índia meridional o Sud de l'Índia és la regió del subcontinent indi que comprèn els estats següents: Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala i Tamil Nadu, així com els territoris de Lakshadweep i Pondicherry. Tots aquests pertanyen a l'Índia.

L'Índia del Sud es troba al sud de l'altiplà del Dècan, amb la mar d'Aràbia a l'oest i el golf de Bengala a l'est.

Antigament, a la literatura tradicional de l'Índia les muntanyes de Vindhya fromaven la frontera entre l'Índia del nord de l'Índia del sud.

Divisió lingüística

L'Índia del Sud, habitada pels pobles dràvides, és una zona de l'Índia amb un caràcter especial. Amb cultures i costums diferents, i parlant llengües dravídiques, a l'Índia del Sud predominen quatre alfabets que la gent del nord generalment no pot entendre.

A nivell popular sovint la definició de "Índia del sud" s'oposa a "Índia del Nord", zona lingüísticament més homogènia on predominen les llengües indoàries que són, en gran manera, mútuament intel·ligibles.
