Stuart is a locality in the Riverland region of South Australia.
Stuart gets its name from the Hundred of Stuart, which in turn was named after John McDouall Stuart in 1860. The locality boundary is almost identical to the hundred boundary, except that the southeastern part of the Hundred is in the locality of Taylorville and the southwestern corner of the hundred in the locality of Morgan.
