The 1893 South Australian Football Association season was the 17th season of the top-level Australian rules football competition in South Australia.

Medindie Football Club (nickname Dingoes) which joined the SAFA in 1888 on 14 March 1893, at a meeting held at Temperance Hall, North Adelaide renamed to North Adelaide Football Club. ^[2]

The Adelaide Football Club, the first Australian rules football club in South Australia, dropped out of the SAFA and folded at the end of 1893. It has no relation to the modern day Adelaide Crows.

The league would stabilise from this point forward, with no clubs leaving until the Woodville and West Torrens merger in 1991; as the SANFL considers Woodville-West Torrens a continuation of both Woodville and West Torrens, the original Adelaide is the last SANFL team to fold as of 2021.
