Lindley is a locality in Mid Murray Council in the Mid North of South Australia, north of Morgan, South Australia.

Its boundaries are coincident with the cadastral Hundred of Lindley in the County of Burra.

The Goyder Highway traverses the southwestern corner of the locality.

[4] The Hundred was named in 1881 for John Lindley, a botanist and horticulturalist who was assistant librarian for Sir Joseph Banks and Professor of Botany at London University.

[5] Much of the land was selected by settlers in 1881 soon after the Hundred was surveyed for closer settlement.
