"If the South Woulda Won" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Hank Williams Jr.. It was released in July 1988 as the first single from the album Wild Streak. The song reached number 8 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.

Lyrically, the song is about what Williams, Jr. would have done as President of the southern States had the South won the Civil War. He mentions all the states from the Confederacy as well as Kentucky (though it was not among the states which seceded) and includes how he would put his father on $100 bills and make Elvis Presley's death a national holiday.
