Mallala is a small town about 75 kilometres north of Adelaide in South Australia. The name Mallala is thought to be derived from the local Aboriginal word 'madlola' which supposedly meant 'place of the ground frog'.

In 1939 the Royal Australian Air Force established a base to the north of the Mallala township. The base was originally used for training of the Royal Australian Air Force. It was subsequently closed in 1960. The Mallala Motorsport Park, which regularly hosts national and international motor racing events, can now be found at this site.

The international standard equestrian center, east of the township is the venue for national show jumping and related event competitions.

At Mallala's centre is an impressive World War I war memorial, which has the insignia 'In honour of ten men who died in defence of home and liberty'. The ten men were killed in Egypt, France and Palestine.
