The South Adelaide Football Club is an Australian rules football club that competes in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL). Known as the Panthers, their home ground is Flinders University Stadium[1] (formerly Noarlunga Oval), located in Noarlunga Downs in the southern suburbs of Adelaide.

The Panthers have won 11 SANFL premierships, their last being in 1964. Recently, South Adelaide won back-to-back SANFLW premierships in 2018 and 2019. In 2023 South Adelaide also won the first SANFL Development League Premiership against an undefeated Norwood, who had miss slip at half time by declaring that they won. The club also participated in the Leagues Championship Cup.

South Adelaide Football Club is the owner of South Adelaide Netball Club and South Adelaide Volleyball Club, with all three clubs now under the Panthers brand. The partnership between these clubs is seen as an initiative to establish South Adelaide as the sporting hub for the southern community.[2]
