The Hundred of Dalrymple is a cadastral unit of hundred in South Australia on the southern Yorke Peninsula. It is one of the 16 hundreds of the County of Fergusson. Proclaimed on 20 June 1872, it is officially thought to be named after Dalrymple, East Ayrshire, Scotland.[1]

The townships of Stansbury and Wool Bay, as well as the north eastern part of the modern bounded locality of Yorketown, are within the hundred boundaries.

Dalrymple substation, midway between Stansbury and Wool Bay at Hayward Corner, is named for the hundred.[2][3]
