The Southern Supercluster Strand is a galaxy filament that encompasses the Southern Supercluster and the Telescopium−Grus Cloud.

In 2014, it was announced that the Southern Supercluster Strand is a lobe in a greater supercluster, Laniakea, that is centered on the Great Attractor. This would mean that the Southern Supercluster Strand's components, the Telescopium−Grus Cloud and the Southern Supercluster would be part of this new supercluster. The Virgo Supercluster would also be part of this greater supercluster, thus becoming the local supercluster.
