The Protectorate of South Arabia was a grouping of states under treaties of protection with Britain in what would become South Yemen. The Protectorate was designated on 18 January 1963 as consisting of those areas of the Aden Protectorate that did not join the Federation of South Arabia.

It included the Hadhrami states of Kathiri, Mahra, and Qu'aiti and Wahidi Bir Ali that were in the Eastern Aden Protectorate (with various other states) and Upper Yafa which had been part of the Western Aden Protectorate.

The Protectorate of South Arabia was dissolved upon the independence of the People's Republic of South Yemen on 30 November 1967 and its constituent states quickly collapsed, leading to the abolition of their monarchies.
