Mitchell is an electoral district of the House of Assembly in the state of South Australia. It was first created in the redistribution of 1969, taking effect at the 1970 election. Mitchell is named after philosopher Sir William Mitchell.

The 1989 boundary bordered the 2010 boundary in the south-west and north-east respectively.
