Kingsford is a locality in South Australia located about 46 kilometres (29 mi) north of the Adelaide city centre.[2][3] Its boundaries were created in May 1995 for the ”long established name” while its name is derived from the “Kingsford homestead.”[2] The principal land use within the locality is agriculture.[7]

The Kingsford homestead survives and is listed on the South Australian Heritage Register; it is also notable as a location in the Australian television series, McLeod's Daughters.[8][9] Kingsford is located within the federal Division of Wakefield, the state electoral district of Light and the local government area of the Light Regional Council.[5][4][2]
