The Southern Advocate for Workers' Councils and International Digest was an ultra-left magazine published in Melbourne in the mid 1940s by Jim Dawson.

It was later published as the Southern Socialist Review.

Its politics were broadly anarchist and syndicalist.

It had a wide international readership, and was probably better known abroad than in Australia.
