The South Pine River is a minor river in South East Queensland, Australia. It rises on the D'Aguilar Range and passes through the Samford Valley in the City of Moreton Bay local government area.
The South Pine River rises in the D'Aguilar Range below Mount Glorious near Highvale, northwest of Brisbane, and flows generally east, to form its confluence with the North Pine River at Lawnton, where the river forms the Pine River. The river flows mostly through the City of Moreton Bay; it is joined by Dawson Creek, [2] Samford Creek and Cedar Creek before snaking through the outer northwestern suburbs of Brisbane where it divides the suburbs of Eatons Hill and Brendale to the north and Albany Creek to the south. Meeting with Albany Creek in the suburb of the same name, it carries the city council boundary between the Moreton Bay City Council and the Brisbane City Council down to its confluence. To the northwest of the South Pine River are the Pine Rivers suburbs of Strathpine and Lawnton, while on the southeast are Brisbane City Council suburbs Bridgeman Downs and Bald Hills. The river descends 287 metres (942 ft) over its 41-kilometre (25 mi) course. [1] A sewage treatment plant is located at Brendale. [3]
On early maps the river was called Eden River. [2] The Pine Rivers Shire draws its name from the South Pine, North Pine and Pine Rivers. Small steamships traversed the river to deliver molasses from local mills. [4]

There are two roads named South Pine Road to the north of Brisbane in Queensland, Australia. They are two separate roads rather than a disconnected single road. It is likely that the duplicate naming is the result of actions by two former local authorities, the Shire of Enoggera and the Shire of Pine Rivers.
