South Kyme is a small village and civil parish[1][2] in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 393.[3] It is located 2.5 miles (4 km) south-east from North Kyme which is itself 2.5 miles (4 km) from Billinghay.

South Kyme contains a public house, The Hume Arms, and a golf club.[4] The River Slea, which is called the 'Kyme Eau' from Ferry Farm a mile or so to the north of South Kyme, runs parallel to the main road, passing under three bridges, and eventually flowing into the River Witham at Chapel Hill.[5] The river was once navigable by the Sleaford Navigation from the Witham to the market town of Sleaford.

The South Kyme emblem is a Kingfisher, modelled as a wooden sculpture by Simon Todd.[6]
