Hurtle Vale is a single-member electoral district for the South Australian House of Assembly, located in the southern suburbs of Adelaide. It was created by the redistribution conducted in 2016, and was contested for the first time at the 2018 state election.{{cite web |url=http://edbc.sa.gov.au/redistributions/2016/2016-final-redistribution-report.html |title=Final Redistribution Report |publisher=South Australian Electoral Districts Boundaries Commission |access-date=7 July 2017}}

Hurtle Vale is a new electorate replacing the electoral district of Fisher. It is named after Sir James Hurtle Fisher, the same as its predecessor. Hurtle Vale is further southwest than Fisher was before the redistribution, with overlap only in the northeast of Hurtle Vale with the southwest of Fisher. At the time of the redistribution, 9000 electors from Fisher remained in Hurtle Vale. 10,000 moved with the suburb of Morphett Vale from Reynell and smaller numbers from Mawson and Mitchell.{{cite web |url=http://edbc.sa.gov.au/redistributions/2016/2016-final-redistribution-report/edbc-final-redistribution-report-apendices-2016-pdf/download.html |title=Redistribution Report Appendices |page=Appendix 9 |date=2016 |access-date=7 July 2017}}
