The Southern Governorate (Arabic: المحافظة الجنوبية, romanized: Al-Muḥāfaẓat al-Janūbīyah) has the largest area of the four governorates of Bahrain, but is the least populated. It includes parts of Bahrain's old municipalities – Al Mintaqah al Gharbiyah, Ar Rifa' wa al Mintaqah al Janubiyah, and Juzur Hawar (the Hawar Islands). It has the smallest population of the governorates on Bahrain except for Al Muharraq.
The Governor of the Southern Governorate is Shaikh Khalifa bin Ali Al Khalifa (born 1993), the grandson of former Prime Minister Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa and the son of Shaikh Ali bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, the deputy prime minister.
