Forestville is an inner southwestern suburb of Adelaide in the City of Unley. It is traversed by Brown Hill Creek and the Glenelg tram line.

The prominent horse breeder William Harper Formby (1818–1892) was an early settler in the area, occupying much of Section 53 on the Bay Road. [2]

Former NBL franchise and later Premier League club, the Forestville Eagles, are named after the suburb.

Forestville is also the location of a stop on the Glenelg tram line. [3]
