Nkoranza South Municipal District is one of the eleven districts in Bono East Region, Ghana. Originally it was formerly part of the then-larger Nkoranza District on 10 March 1989, until the northern part of the district was split off to create Nkoranza North District on 1 November 2007 (effectively 29 February 2008); thus the remaining part has been renamed as Nkoranza South District, which it was later elevated to municipal district assembly status on 28 June 2012 to become Nkoranza South Municipal District. The municipality is located in the southern part of Bono East Region and has Nkoranza as its capital town.
