Wakefield Street is a main thoroughfare intersecting the centre of the South Australian capital, Adelaide, from east to west at its midpoint.

The street was named after Daniel Bell Wakefield, the solicitor who drafted the Act which proclaimed Adelaide.

Like his brother Edward Gibbon Wakefield, he was also involved in the South Australia Association in London, but never visited Adelaide.

Architect Chris Smith had designed the new interior, and furnishings were supplied by John Martin & Co.[11] The refit was in Art Deco style.
