The Southeast Region is one of eight United States regions that currently send teams to the Little League World Series, the largest youth baseball competition in the world. The region's participation in the LLWS dates back to 1957, when it was known as the South Region. However, when the LLWS was expanded in 2001 from eight teams (four U.S. teams and four "International" teams from the rest of the world) to 16 teams (eight U.S. and eight International), the Southern Region was split into the Southeast and Southwest Regions.
The Southeast Region is made up of eight southeastern states.
- Â Alabama
- Â Florida
- Georgia
- Â North Carolina
- Â South Carolina
- Â Tennessee
- Â Virginia
- Â West Virginia
Regional headquarters have been located in Warner Robins, Georgia since 2008. The regional tournament moved to Warner Robins in 2010. Prior to 2010, St. Petersburg, Florida hosted the tournament.

Notes
- ^a Peachtree City National Little League of Peachtree City, Georgia won the Georgia state tournament by defeating Columbus Northern. However, Peachtree City was stripped of their title by virtue of having twelve players on the team whose league age was 12 years old.
