Kaurna is an electoral district of the House of Assembly in the Australian state of South Australia. Named after the Kaurna aboriginal tribe which originally inhabited the Adelaide plains, it is a 67.2km² semi-urban electorate on Adelaide's far-southern beaches, taking in the suburbs of Aldinga, Aldinga Beach, Maslin Beach, Moana, Old Noarlunga, Port Noarlunga, Port Noarlunga South, Port Willunga, Seaford, Seaford Meadows, Seaford Rise, Sellicks Beach as well as parts of Christies Beach, Christie Downs and Noarlunga Downs.
Kaurna was created in the 1991 electoral distribution as a marginal seat for the Australian Labor Party, replacing the abolished Baudin. It was first contested at the 1993 state election, where it was won by Liberal candidate Lorraine Rosenberg as part of a large swing throughout the state. However, she was swept away in 1997, with John Hill reclaiming the seat for Labor. Hill retained the seat in 2002, increasing the margin beyond 10%, and was promoted to the environment portfolio thereafter.
