We present a study of the size–mass relation for local post-starburst (PSB) galaxies at z ≲ 0.33 selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 8. We find that PSB galaxies with stellar mass (M_*) at 10⁹ M_⊙ < M_* < 10¹² M_⊙ have a galaxy size smaller than or comparable to those of quiescent galaxies (QGs). After controlling redshift and stellar mass, the sizes of PSBs are ~13% smaller on average than those of QGs; such differences become larger and significant toward the low-M_* end, especially at 10^9.5 M_⊙ ≲ M_* ≲ 10^10.5 M_⊙ where PSBs can be on average ~19% smaller than QGs. By comparing predictions of possible PSB evolutionary pathways from cosmological simulations, we suggest that a fast quenching of star formation following a short-lived starburst event (which might be induced by a major merger) should be the dominant pathway of our PSB sample. Furthermore, by cross-matching with group catalogs, we confirm that local PSBs at M_* ≲ 10¹⁰ M_⊙ are more clustered than more massive ones. PSBs residing in groups are found to be slightly larger in galaxy size and more disk-like compared to field PSBs, which is qualitatively consistent with and thus hints at the environment-driven fast quenching pathway for group PSBs. Taken together, our results support multiple evolutionary pathways for local PSB galaxies: while massive PSBs are thought of as products of fast quenching following a major merger-induced starburst, environment-induced fast quenching should play a role in the evolution of less massive PSBs, especially at M_* ≲ 10¹⁰ M_⊙.
