Glenelg was an electoral district of the House of Assembly in the Australian state of South Australia from 1938 to 1985.[1]

Glenelg was one of two 1965 election gains that put Labor in government after decades of the Playmander in opposition.

Glenelg was abolished in a boundary redistribution prior to the 1985 election with much of the area merged into the seat of Morphett.
