Dartmouth South is a provincial electoral district in Nova Scotia, Canada, that elects one member of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly. The riding is currently represented by Claudia Chender of the NDP. The district was created in 1966, under the name Dartmouth City South, when Halifax County Dartmouth was divided into two electoral districts. In 1967, the district was renamed Dartmouth South. In 2003, the district was renamed Dartmouth South – Portland Valley. In 2013 following the Nova Scotia Electoral Boundaries Commission review, the district returned to its earlier name of Dartmouth South and lost the area south of Russell Lake and east of Highway 111 to Cole Harbour-Eastern Passage.[2]
