Södra Sunderbyn is a locality situated in Luleå Municipality, Norrbotten County, Sweden with 2,977 inhabitants in 2010. Northeast of the community, between Highway 97 and Malmbanan (Iron Ore Line), is Sunderby hospital; it was built in the 1990s when hospitals were merged in Luleå and Boden. The community also contains Sunderby Folk High School.
The new area of Hammaren almost joins the village to Gammelstad and is regularly visited by city buses from Luleå public transportation. It is therefore increasingly regarded as a suburb of Luleå.
