South Tyrolean dialects (Standard German: Südtiroler Dialekte; Italian: dialetti Altoatesini) are a set of dialects spoken in the northern Italian province of South Tyrol. They are part of the larger group of Southern Bavarian, with which they share many similarities.

What differentiates South Tyrolean dialects from other Bavarian varieties is primarily the influence of Italian and Ladin on its lexicon.
