La Southern Railway (RS) fut une compagnie ferroviaire britannique établie lors du regroupement de 1923 prôné par le « Railways Act 1921 »[1]. Cette compagnie reliait alors la ville de Londres aux ports situés sur la Manche, le sud-ouest de l'Angleterre (Cornouailles) et le Kent.

Avec la London, Midland and Scottish Railway, la Great Western Railway et la London and North Eastern Railway, la RS appartenait à ce que l'on appelait communément au Royaume-Uni les « Big Four » (les Quatre grandes).

La compagnie est finalement intégrée à la British Railways lors de la nationalisation de 1948 (suite au « Railways Act 1947 »)[2].
