Norwood is a former electoral district of the House of Assembly in the Australian state of South Australia. It was a 14.2 km² inner urban electorate in Adelaide and was named after its geographical area. Besides Norwood itself, the electorate included the suburbs of Beulah Park, College Park, Evandale, Firle, Hackney, Joslin, Kent Town, Marden, Maylands, Payneham South, Royston Park, St Morris, St Peters, Stepney, Trinity Gardens and Vale Park, as well as parts of Kensington, Klemzig and Payneham.
Norwood was created as an electoral district in 1938, and was usually a marginal seat, changing hands between the Australian Labor Party and the Liberal Party a number of times. The electorate is synonymous with former Premier of South Australia Don Dunstan, who held the seat from 1953 until 1979 (and after who the district was renamed in a 2012 redistribution).
