The Electoral district of King is a single-member electorate for the South Australian House of Assembly. It was created by the redistribution conducted in 2016, and will be contested for the first time at the 2018 state election.

King is named after Len King AC QC, a former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of South Australia.

The Electoral District Boundaries Commission considered that it had renamed the electoral district of Napier to King, but only 1479 of the estimated 27,002 voters in King had previously been voters in Napier from the rural areas of Bibaringa, One Tree Hill, Uleybury, Yattalunga. The majority of voters in King came from Wright in the suburbs of Golden Grove, Greenwith, Salisbury East and from Little Para in the suburbs of Gould Creek, Hillbank, Salisbury Heights, Salisbury Park

At its creation, King contained the suburbs of Bibaringa, Uleybury, Yattalunga, One Tree Hill, Gould Creek, Hillbank, Golden Grove, Greenwith, Salisbury Heights, Salisbury Park and part of Salisbury East. The northern part is essentially rural and the southern part is urban. It is on the western foothills of the Mount Lofty Ranges at the northern end of Adelaide.
