The Southern League (SL) is a Minor League Baseball league based in the Southern United States. Like the Eastern League and the Texas League, the Southern League plays at the Double-A (AA) level, the second-most difficult level before Major League Baseball (MLB).

The league started in 1964. After MLB took control of Minor League Baseball in 2021, it was called the Double-A South for one season before going back to the SL name in 2022.
