Grange is a coastal suburb of Adelaide, South Australia, located 11 kilometres from the Adelaide city centre. It is located in the City of Charles Sturt.
Originally called The Grange, the suburb is named after Captain Charles Sturt's cottage, which originally stood on 500 acres (200 ha) of farmland. Sturt's farm was subdivided in 1878 by a private company intending to establish a beach resort. The cottage still stands and is now a museum.
Grange is a beachside suburb lying just north of Henley Beach. The main land boundaries are Trimmer Parade, Frederick Road and Grange Road.
