South Keys is a bus station on Ottawa's transitway system. Operated by OC Transpo, it is last station at the southern end of the Transitway, just north of Hunt Club Road. The station is located in the South Keys neighbourhood of Ottawa at the south end of the South Keys Shopping Centre beside the Cineplex Odeon South Keys Cinemas, between Bank Street and the Airport Parkway.

The station was opened to traffic with the southern transitway on September 2, 1995. (The official opening was the following day.)

It is an occasional weekday terminus of route 97 (buses identified as 97X SOUTH KEYS). Route 97 continues on the Airport Parkway to the most southern station, Airport Station, while other routes such as route 98 and route 99 exit at Hunt Club Road.

Previously, City Council approved the addition of an O-Train Station at South Keys (instead of Lester) in conjunction of the expansion of the north-south light rail line. The project was, however, cancelled on December 14, 2006
