Fredericton South-Silverwood (French: Fredericton-Sud-Silverwood) is a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick. It was created when the Fredericton South district was split into two, creating this district and Fredericton-Lincoln. The remainder of the district was carved out of Fredericton West-Hanwell. It was first contested during the 2024 New Brunswick general election.^[1]

Fredericton South-Silverwood was proposed in 2022 and created in 2023, though it received opposing reactions from residents and members of the Green Party.^[2]^[3]^[4]
