The 1929 SAAFL season was the 15th season of the South Australian Amateur Football League (SAAFL).

The 1929 season commenced on 4 May and concluded on 7 September.

The third Old Scholars club in four years was admitted into the SAAFL, when Scotch Old Collegians joined section A2.[1] The A2 finalists of 1928, Underdale and St. Augustine, were promoted into A1 replacing Teachers Training College and Kingswood who were relegated into A2. This gave A1 and A2 7 teams each. This system of promotion/relegation has continued throughout the SAAFL/AdFL. Scotch O.C. home ground was "near the old South Terrace station" in the south parklands near Pulteney Grammar (most likely in Park 20).[2][3][4]
