The Government of South Russia (Правительство Юга России Pravitel'stvo Juga Rossii) was a White movement government established in Sevastopol, Crimea in April 1920.

It was the successor to General Anton Denikin's South Russian Government set up in February 1920. General Pyotr Wrangel was the pravitel' (правитель, "ruler") while the government itself was headed by a Chairman of the Council of Ministers. The government officially assumed the name Government of South Russia on 16 August 1920 and it controlled the area of the former Russian Empire's Taurida Governorate, i.e., the Crimean Peninsula and adjacent areas of the mainland.

In early November, the Bolsheviks won decisive victories and entered Crimea proper. Wrangel initiated an evacuation of 146,000 people to Constantinople with the last boats departing on 16 November. With this withdrawal, the final remnants of the White forces in Europe were defeated.
