The 1936 SAAFL season was the 22nd season of the South Australian Amateur Football League (SAAFL).

The season commenced on 2 May and concluded on 19th September.[1]

The Amateur League had five new clubs, plus the return of Y.M.C.A. after a year's absence. The new clubs were Christian Brothers Old Collegians, Holdens Motor Body Builders, Kings Old Collegians, Pulteney Old Scholars, and Walkerville. While two clubs did not re affiliate, Adelaide High Old Scholars and Kensington, as they both disbanded.[2] Pulteney Old Scholars played at the Pulteney School oval in the South Parklands, Kings Old Collegians played at the Schools Haslam Oval, and Christian Brothers Old Collegians played at Rostrevor College. Walkerville, formerly in the North Adelaide District Football Association, played on Walkerville Oval. Holdens shared the Y.M.C.A.'s ground in the North Parklands. Kensington had disbanded at the end of 1935[3]

In A1, three teams were promoted from A2, these being the Grand Finalists of 1935, West Adelaide United and Semaphore Central, as well as Prince Alfred O.C. The A1 and A2 competitions were able to have 10 teams each. However, after round 8, Goodwood withdrew from A1 and disbaned, and Scotch withdrew from A2 after round 10.

This season included the first Australian Amateur Football Carnival from 18 to 22 August at Adelaide Oval.[4]
