South Algonquin is a township municipality in Nipissing District, Ontario, Canada. Located south of Algonquin Provincial Park, it is the sole populated portion of the district that lies south of the traditional dividing line between Northern Ontario and Southern Ontario and is closer connected to Renfrew County as opposed to the core portions of Nipissing District.
South Algonquin was established on June 1, 1998, when the Township of Airy (incorporated in 1962 from unorganized area) was merged with the unorganized townships of Dickens, Sabine, Lyell, and Murchison. The township had a population of 1,055 in the 2021 Canadian census.
