The Hundred of Talunga is a cadastral hundred of the County of Adelaide, South Australia, spanning the Torrens Valley in the Adelaide Hills.

[1][2][3][4] It was proclaimed by Governor Frederick Robe in 1846 and named for an indigenous term thought to mean 'waterhole'.

The main towns within the hundred are Cudlee Creek, Kenton Valley, Gumeracha, Mount Torrens, Birdwood, Forreston and Mount Pleasant The earliest local government within the hundred was established with the formation of the District Council of Talunga in 1853, which covered the whole hundred.

In 1884, the Mount Pleasant ward in the east of the Talunga council area seceded to join the District Council of South Rhine (later called Springton), which had been established in 1865.

In the same year, the old Mount Pleasant ward in the east became part of the newly-formed Barossa Council.
