South Glencoe is a rural locality in the Shire of Katanning, situated in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. The Johns Well Nature Reserve is located within South Glencoe, along with a small part of the unnamed WA24282 Nature Reserve.[3][4]

South Glencoe lies on the traditional land of the Koreng people of the Noongar nation.[5][6][7]

The name "Glencoe" originates from Glencoe House, a property in the neighbouring locality of Glencoe, which gave its name to the area and several of buildings within it.[8]
