Barraigh, Bhatarsaigh, Eirisgeigh agus Uibhist a Deas (English: Barra, Vatersay, Eriskay and South Uist) was one of the nine wards used to elect members of the Comhairle nan Eilean Siar. It elected four Councillors. It was established when Scotland adopted proportional local elections in 2007. When the Islands (Scotland) Act 2018 was implemented, allowing island communities to be represented by one or two seat constituencies, the ward was split into Barraigh agus Bhatarsaigh and Uibhist a Deas, Èirisgeigh agus Beinn na Faoghla.
