Southwark (Br [ˈsʌðɨk])[1] South East was a parliamentary constituency in the Metropolitan Borough of Southwark, in South London. It returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

The constituency comprised the wards of St. George, St. John and St. Peter. It covered most of East Walworth and Faraday wards, together with a sliver of Grange ward, in the modern day London Borough of Southwark.
