Southwark (pronounced /ˈsʌðək/) is an inner western suburb of Adelaide, South Australia, located in the City of West Torrens[4] (of which it is the most north-easterly point). It was officially created on 31 October 2025,[5][a] adopting the precinct's original name as before its incorporation into Thebarton in the mid-1900s.[7]

Southwark comprises established residential and commercial land that was brought into its remit,[8] including existing venues such as the historic Southwark Hotel. The suburb will later encompass the housing estate of "Southwark Grounds" (to be completed by 2035;[9] situated on the site of the former West End Brewery).[10]
