The Adelaide Metropolitan Football League (AMFL) was an Australian rules football competition based mainly in the eastern and south-eastern suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia. Originally known as the Sturt District Football Association (SDFA), the competition reformed after World War II, became the Adelaide Metropolitan Football League in 1963 and folded at the end of the 1967 season.
