The Southern constituency (No.218[a]) is a Russian legislative constituency in Saint Petersburg. The constituency covers south-central part of the city and its inner suburbs, including Pushkin and Pavlovsk.

The constituency has been represented since 2016 by United Russia deputy Vitaly Milonov, former Member of Legislative Assembly of Saint Petersburg.

1993–1995: Frunzensky District, Pavlovsk, Pushkinsky District[2]
The constituency covered southern Saint Petersburg and its inner southern suburbs, including Pushkin and Pavlovsk.

1995–2003: Frunzensky District, Nevsky District (Municipal Okrug 49, Municipal Okrug 50, Obukhovsky, Rybatskoye)[3]
Following the 1995 redistricting the constituency was significantly changed, losing Pushkin and Pavlovsk to South-Western constituency. This seat instead gained industrial and dense residential areas to the east in Nevsky District from the dissolved South-Eastern constituency.

2003–2007: Frunzensky District, Nevsky District (Municipal Okrug 49, Municipal Okrug 50, Obukhovsky, Rybatskoye, Municipal Okrug 53)[4]
After the 2003 redistricting the constituency was slightly altered, gaining Municipal Okrug 53 in Nevsky District from Eastern constituency.

2016–2026: Kirovsky District (Avtovo, Knyazhevo, Krasnenkaya Rechka, Morskiye Vorota, Narvsky), Moskovsky District, Pushkinsky District[5]
The constituency was re-created for the 2016 election but did not retain any of its former territory, losing Nevsky District to Eastern constituency and Frunzensky District – to South-Eastern constituency. This seat instead took most of the eliminated South-Western constituency and part of Kirovsky District from the dissolved Admiralteysky constituency.

Since 2026: Admiralteysky District (Izmaylovskoye, Semyonovsky, Sennoy), Moskovsky District, Pushkinsky District[6]
The constituency was changed following the 2025 redistricting, swapping its portion of Kirovsky District for eastern Admiralteysky District with Central constituency.
