Springfield is an affluent inner-southern suburb of Adelaide, nestled in the foothills of the Mount Lofty Ranges approximately 8 kilometres south-east of the Adelaide city centre, within the City of Mitcham council area. With a population of 548 spread across less than a square kilometre, it is one of Adelaide's smaller and most exclusive localities, occupying the hills-face zone where residential properties command panoramic views over the Adelaide plains. The suburb attracts high-income households, reflecting the prestige of its elevated setting and proximity to the CBD.

The suburb is surrounded by other well-regarded foothills localities including Kingswood, Netherby, and Torrens Park, with convenient access to the Mitcham Hills shopping precinct and Belair National Park's walking trails. Its green, tree-lined streets and quiet residential feel make it highly sought after by those seeking a prestige address just minutes from the city.
