La Méridionale is a French shipping company that provides passage to Corsica. After being managed by STEF, the passenger ferry operator was acquired in May 2023 by the CMA CGM Group.

The company's three vessels serve the Corsican ports of Bastia, Ajaccio and Propriano, and Porto Torres in Sardinia. The fleet is exclusively composed of mixed vessels (freight and passengers).
