The KELT-South telescope (Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope - South) is a small robotic telescope that is designed to detect transiting extrasolar planets.

The telescope is owned and operated by Vanderbilt University and is based on the design of KELT-North, which was conceived and designed at the Ohio State University, Department of Astronomy.

The KELT-South telescope serves as a counterpart to its northern twin, surveying the southern sky for transiting planets over the next few years.
