Northfield is a suburb of the greater Adelaide, South Australia area.

This was a newspaper entry in the South Australia Register 4 October 1852 on the marriage notice of John Lewis to Harriet Ricketts of Northfield.

[citation needed] The suburb was serviced by the former Northfield railway line and Northfield railway station from the opening of the line in 1857, until its closure to passenger traffic on 29 May 1987.

[3] The former terminus of the line, Stockade railway station, which was closed in 1961, was built to load stone from the quarries behind Female Labour Prison[3] (which was originally called The Stockade - a name which survives in the local park of the same name[4]).

[5] Northfield is in the City of Port Adelaide Enfield local government area, and is in both the South Australian House of Assembly electoral districts of Florey and Enfield.
