The City of Marion is a local government area in the southern suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia, operating within the government administration sector. It covers about 55 square kilometers and is among the state's larger metropolitan councils, located roughly 10 kilometers south of Adelaide, spanning from the Glenelg tramline in Glandore to the coastal suburb of Hallett Cove. It serves a population of around 88,000 with growth partly driven by overseas migration from the United Kingdom, India, China, the Philippines, eastern Africa, and other regions. 

The area has historical roots dating to 1838 when Colonel William Light laid out the Village of Marion, with the Kaurna people originally inhabiting the nearby Sturt River landscape. The council provides municipal services to residents and communities within its boundaries as a local government authority. In 2023, the Marion Outdoor Pool launched a customer portal, enabling memberships and general admission passes, reflecting ongoing digital service improvements for public facilities.
