Norwood Oval, Stadium and cricket field in The Parade, Adelaide, Australia.

Norwood Oval is a suburban oval at the western end of Norwood, an inner eastern suburb of Adelaide, measuring 165m by 110m, the narrowest ground used in the SANFL. It has a capacity of 10,000, with grandstand seating for up to 3,900. Owned by the Norwood, Payneham & St Peters Council and managed by the Norwood Football Club, it is the home ground of the Norwood Redlegs.

Norwood Oval was declared open on 27 April 1901 before about 900 people, when Lady Smith opened the recreation ground for public use. The first football match followed on 4 May 1901, Norwood against the newly formed Sturt. The ground was officially opened in 1906 for football matches, and a 1906 match against Port Adelaide drew a packed 10,000. The record crowd of 20,280 came in 1971 for Norwood against Port Adelaide.

The Norwood Football Club, known as "The Redlegs", has played here since 1901, and Friday-night SANFL matches have drawn regular crowds since the early 2000s. The ground record of 20,280 was set in 1971 when Norwood met traditional rivals Port Adelaide. Since 2023 the oval has hosted two AFL matches a year during Gather Round.

Norwood Oval sits at the western end of Norwood, an inner eastern suburb of Adelaide, with The Parade running along its edge. Grandstand seating holds up to 3,900 of the ground's 10,000 capacity, so standing room fills on big match days. The ground is 165m by 110m, the narrowest in use in the SANFL.
