Toowoomba South is an electoral district of the Legislative Assembly in the Australian state of Queensland. It was created with the 1972 redistribution, and replaced the abolished Toowoomba East.{{cite QldElectorate|date=28 April 2020}}
The electorate covers the eastern and inner southern suburbs of Toowoomba, including the University of Southern Queensland. It excludes the outer southwestern suburb of Drayton, and other areas nearby the University of Southern Queensland, which fall in the Electoral district of Condamine.
It is part of the Darling Downs group of seats, and is bounded on the east by Lockyer, the north by Toowoomba North, and on the south and west by Condamine.
The electorate was held by John McVeigh for the Liberal National Party, until his resignation on 29 April 2016 to contest the federal seat of Groom at the 2016 federal election. David Janetzki was elected at the subsequent by-election on 16 July 2016.{{cite news|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-05-10/toowoomba-south-byelection-held-july-16/7400458 |work=ABC News |date =10 May 2016 |title =Toowoomba South by-election to be held in July |location =Sydney|access-date=2 June 2016}}
