The Southwest District is a high school conference of the Virginia High School League that includes schools from southwestern Virginia, United States. The Southwest District was established in the former AA Region IV.

The AA Highlands District dissolved in 2007, with Abingdon and Marion joining the Southwest District. The AA Southwest District had several changes for the 2013-2014 school year during the overall VHSL realignment. Carroll County, a member of the new Group 4A, moved to the AA River Ridge District. Virginia High School and Lebanon High School joined from the dissolved A Clinch Mountain District. At the beginning of the 2017-18 school year, Graham High School (Bluefield, Virginia) will join the district after 5 years with the A Mountain Empire District.

Abingdon is a member of the new Group 3A while the other schools are members of the new Group 2A. Schools are also assigned to a conference of schools of the same group for the first round of post-season competition.
