Unley Oval is a multi-use, community owned stadium in Unley, an inner southern suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. It is a popular community recreation oval and greenspace and is used for lower-grade South Australian Grade Cricket League matches and is the home ground for the Sturt Football Club in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL). It was gifted to the community by Edmund Isaac Stephen Trimmer who in 1881 gave Unley Oval for the use by the people of Unley.
