Badminton SA (incorporated as the South Australian Badminton Association) is the state association for the sport of badminton in South Australia. It is comprised of affiliated clubs and associations from both the country and metropolitan areas.

The South Australian Badminton Association was formed in 1930 with six clubs. Competition was initially played at the Wayville Show Grounds in Adelaide. In 1957, the Association moved to its present premises at the WA Satterley Hall in Lockleys.

​Badminton SA runs graded inter-club competitions on weeknights at its Lockleys headquarters, in two seasons (Winter and Summer). Facilities at Lockleys include 7 courts, a pro-shop, bar and social area, showers and change rooms. The Association also runs the state’s premier tournaments at senior level (the SA Open, City of Adelaide, Joy Twining & Joan Jones), as well as various age tournaments for juniors.
​
The SABA Board has responsibility for the overall running of the association.  The Competition Committee is directly involved in organising the schedule for competition play and enforcing the match by-laws.
