South Uptown is a residential neighborhood in the Calhoun Isles community of Minneapolis, Minnesota.

In 2018, the neighborhood voted to change its name to South Uptown from its former name, Calhoun Area Residents' Action Group (CARAG) after its namesake, the former Lake Calhoun, was renamed to Bde Maka Ska. Other potential names for the neighborhood included "Bryant Park" and "Bryant Square".^[3] The Minneapolis City Council approved the name change in November 2018.^[4]
