The '''Southern Tablelands''' is a [[Regions of New South Wales|geographic area]] of [[New South Wales]], [[Australia]], located south-west of [[Sydney]] and generally west of the [[Great Dividing Range]].

The area is characterised by [[Plateau|high, flat]] country which has generally been extensively cleared and used for grazing purposes.  The area is easily accessible to the Australian federal capital city of [[Canberra]] in the [[Australian Capital Territory]]. The area is included with the [[Southern Highlands (New South Wales)|Southern Highlands]] and parts of the [[South West Slopes]] in the district that is known as [[Capital Country]]. In a wider sense, the term "Southern Tablelands" is also sometimes used to describe a broader region that includes the [[Monaro, New South Wales|Monaro]], the Southern Highlands and Australia's capital Canberra. The [[Southern Tablelands Temperate Grassland]] is a prominent vegetation community in the region.
