Hyde Park is an affluent inner-southern suburb of Adelaide in the City of Unley.
It features King William Road, a popular shopping and dining destination in Adelaide. Considered an upper class suburb, it is home to some of Adelaide's most oldest, expensive and luxurious properties. Millswood railway station and the Belair railway line are close to Hyde Park. Until the 1950s a tram line ran to Hyde Park.
Politically, the suburb is safe for the Liberal Party of Australia; at the 2010 election, it attracted 62.33% of the primary vote.
Hyde Park "did not derive its name, as many suppose, from the famous Hyde Park, of London, but from a gentleman named John Hyde, who came to [Australia] in 1839"
