The Codasur South America Rally Championship is an international rally championship which is run by Confederacion Deportiva Automovilismo Sudamericana (CODASUR) under the auspices of the FIA and held across South America, although some events in the northern most reaches of South America compete in the NACAM Rally Championship zone rather than Codasur.

Competing rallies have generally had short and intermittent histories within the championship, although Brazil's Rally de Erechim and Uruguay's Rally del Atlantico have been in almost every championship. Host nations have kept relatively constant; Brazil and Paraguay have hosted events in every championship, Bolivia and Uruguay all bar one and Argentina has only missed two years. Chile and Peru, former regulars have not hosted events since 2009 and 2010 respectively.

Paraguayan Gustavo Saba is the most successful in Codasur history with three consecutive titles from 2011-13. Argentine drivers Roberto Sanchez and Raúl Martínez have each won the championship twice. The championship has been dominated by drivers in Group N Mitsubishis and Subarus. The region has a strong history in Group N with Urugrayan Gustavo Trelles and Argentinian Gabriel Pozzo both winning Group N in the World Rally Championships in the decade preceding the creation of the Codasur championship.

The 2015 championship took in events held in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia and Uruguay.
