Reynell is an electoral district of the House of Assembly in the Australian state of South Australia. It is named after John Reynell, a leading force in the founding of the Agricultural and Horticultural Society of South Australia and noted 19th century grape farmer and vineyard owner in the area. Reynell is a 35.5 km² urban residential and industrial electorate in Adelaide's far southern suburbs. It includes the suburbs of Morphett Vale, Reynella, as well as parts of Christie Downs, Lonsdale and Onkaparinga Hills.
Taylor was created for the 1993 State election, as a marginal Australian Labor Party seat, but was won by Julie Greig for the Liberal Party in a landslide following the collapse of the State Bank. It was reclaimed for Labor at the 1997 State election by Gay Thompson, who has held the seat since, increasing her margin from 5.8% to a safe 17.8%.
