Adelaide Football Club, nicknamed The Crows, is an Australian rules football club playing in the Australian Football League, based in Adelaide, South Australia.

The club was formed in 1990 as a composite team owned by the SANFL and played its first game in the 1991 season.

Adelaide has been noted in recent years for its professionalism and competitiveness, having competed in eight of the last nine finals series, and every finals series since and including the 2005 finals series, two feats that no other club in the AFL has been able to achieve. However the club has not been able to make the Grand Final in this time. The club also holds the distinction of being the only club in VFL/AFL history to be undefeated in contested Grand Finals.

The club is currently coached by Neil Craig and captained by Simon Goodwin. The club is based at AAMI Stadium (formerly Football Park) in West Lakes and the club song is "The Pride of South Australia", to the tune of the Marine's Hymn.
