The Southern Highlanders, Inc. was a craft marketing cooperative initiated in 1935 by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) in consultation with the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild.

The TVA was the major stockholder in the corporation with other craft centers and individuals buying five dollar shares. Around 1951 the organization merged with the Southern Highland Craft Guild.
