Woodforde is a suburb of Adelaide within the Adelaide Hills Council. It is located about 10 km east of the Adelaide city centre.

Woodforde is in the State House of Assembly Electoral district of Morialta and is in the Federal Division of Mayo.

The Catholic boys' school Rostrevor College is located in the suburb.

Campbelltown City Council has an active boundary change proposal in place to incorporate part of this suburb along with a part of Rostrevor into its boundaries. This is despite an overwhelming 65% majority of residents and ratepayers opposing it in a survey conducted in 2019.

History
