The 2023 South Australian National Football League (SANFL) Grand Final was an Australian rules football match played at Adelaide Oval on Sunday, 24 September 2023. It was the 135th SANFL grand final, staged to determine the premiers for the 2023 SANFL season.[2] The match was contested by Glenelg and Sturt,[3] and the Glenelg Tigers won by 24 points to win their sixth premiership.[4]

It was the fourth meeting between the Glenelg Tigers and the Sturt Double Blues, who last met in the 1974 Grand Final at Football Park with a victory to Sturt, but it would ultimately be the Tigers' first-ever premiership over the Double Blues and their second premiership in the last five years.[5]

The Jack Oatey Medal was awarded to Lachlan Hosie for his incredible six-goal performance, and he was additionally awarded the Ken Farmer Medal for being the leading goalkicker in the home-and-away rounds.[6]
