Sudão do Sul (em inglês: South Sudan) ou Sudão Meridional, oficialmente República do Sudão do Sul (em inglês: Republic of South Sudan) é um país encravado localizado no nordeste da África. Tem esse nome devido à localização geográfica, ao sul do Sudão. O Sudão do Sul foi a nação mais jovem do mundo, até a independência de Barbados. E o Sudão do Sul era parte do Sudão Anglo-Egípcio e tornou-se parte da República do Sudão, quando ocorreu a independência deste no ano de 1956. Após a Primeira Guerra Civil Sudanesa, o sul do Sudão tornou-se uma região autônoma em 1972. Esta autonomia durou até 1983. A Segunda Guerra Civil Sudanesa desenvolvida anos depois, resultou novamente na autonomia da região, através do Tratado de Naivasha, assinado em 9 de janeiro de 2005 no Quênia, com o Exército Popular de Libertação do Sudão (SPLA/M). Em 9 de julho de 2011, o Sudão do Sul tornou-se um estado independente. Em 14 de julho de 2011, o Sudão do Sul tornou-se um Estado-membro das Nações Unidas (ONU). O país entrou para a União Africana em 28 de julho de 2011. Além da divisa com o Sudão ao norte, o Sudão do Sul faz fronteira a leste com a Etiópia, ao sul com o Quênia, Uganda e República Democrática do Congo e a oeste com a República Centro-Africana. O Sudão do Sul, também chamado de Novo Sudão, possui quase todos os seus órgãos administrativos em Juba, a capital, que é também a maior cidade, considerando a população estimada. Há um projeto de transferir a capital sul-sudanesa para Ramciel. Apesar de ser rico em petróleo, o Sudão do Sul é um dos países mais pobres do mundo, com altas taxas de mortalidade infantil, e um sistema de saúde muito precário, considerado um dos piores do mundo. Em termos de educação somente 27% da população acima dos 15 anos sabe ler e escrever, chegando a 84% o índice de analfabetismo entre as mulheres e boa parte das crianças não frequentam unidades escolares. No Sudão do Sul encontram-se 75% das reservas de petróleo do antigo Sudão localizadas sobretudo na região de Abyei, que correspondem a 98% da receita do novo país. No norte também encontram-se os oleodutos responsáveis pelo transporte do petróleo até o Mar Vermelho.

South Sudan's first brewery closed in 2016. However a new brewery was opened in 2024. South Beer is one of their most popular products.
In the towns of South Sudan such as Rumbek and Juba, Kenyan and Ugandan beers are starting to appear in bars at inflated cross-border prices. In Renk, you can even buy Red Horse, a Filipino beer!
Fresh fruit juices are available throughout South Sudan. One of the local juices is "aradeab" (tamarind) and juice made from the baobab fruit.
The clove-flavoured tea (chai) is very good. Outside the capital, you'll pay usually 10 SSP for a cup. Also try the ginger-flavoured coffee. In Renk, one cup of this is 100SSP (2019). Both are very sweet, so if you don't want sugar or you want it separately, say "Sukar bara" (serve sugar separate) when you order.

thumbnail|Village hut in South Sudan Although the level of violence has subsided since the establishment of the country and the end of the civil war, South Sudan remains dangerous for travel as ceasefire violations and boundary disputes have continued. Guns are freely and readily available to the populace, and it is not uncommon to hear gunshots being fired in broad daylight. Travel near the Sudan or Central African Republic borders is extremely dangerous. Western governments continue to advise against all travel to South Sudan and the adjacent regions in Sudan. Violent crime remains problematic; unexploded ordnance from years of civil war also poses hazards to civilians.
It's a malarial area, so before arriving, visit a tropical vaccination center to get prophylactic treatment and the necessary vaccines, including yellow fever, polio and hepatitis A and B. Be sure to sleep under a mosquito net and use mosquito repellent. Most of the South Sudanese drink water from the rivers, which exposes them to diarrhea and cholera. If bottled water is not available, boil/chlorinate the river water before drinking it.
Ebola may occur from time to time.
