South Kyme is a small village and civil parish in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 393. 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. 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. 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.
