Queensway Terrace South is a neighbourhood in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It used to be part of Queensway Terrace but in 1967, Highway 417 was built and split apart into Queensway Terrace North and South. The borders are to the east Southwood Drive, to the south Baseline Road, Queensway (Highway 417) to the north and Greenbank Road to the west.

The community was established in the early 1960s along with Ridgeview, Parkway Park, Redwood and Qualicum. Queensway Terrace South has become an ideal community for families and those looking for large property lines with quiet streets.

On the west side of Pinecrest Road there are townhouses and a couple of high rise condominiums.

It is home to Pinecrest Public School and Pinecrest Shopping Center. Pinecrest Shopping Center was converted into box stores in 1998. Loblaws used to be there and moved to College Square. Ikea, Chapters, and Sears are in the area. In 2011, Pinecrest Ikea became the largest in Canada. Also on Baxter Drive there is a shopping strip with restaurants and take outs, the Ottawa Citizen, and other businesses.

It is also home to Kilreen Park.
