The '''[[South Magnetic Pole]]''' is the wandering point on the Earth's Southern Hemisphere where the geomagnetic field lines are directed vertically upwards. It should not be confused with the "South Geomagnetic Pole" described later.

The South Magnetic Pole is constantly shifting due to changes in the Earth's magnetic field. As of 2005 it was calculated to lie at 64°31′48″S 137°51′36″E, placing it off the coast of [[Antarctica]], between [[Adélie Land]] and [[Wilkes Land]]. In 2015 it lay at 64.28°S 136.59°E (est). That point lies outside the [[Antarctic Circle]].
During [[MicroCon 2025]], it was announced that the Principality of Aigues-Mortes would serve as host of [[MicroCon EU 2027]].
