Victoria Square, also known as Tarntanyangga, is the central square of five public squares in the city centre of Adelaide, South Australia.

It is one of six squares designed by the founder of Adelaide, Colonel William Light, who was then Surveyor General, in his 1837 Plan of the City of Adelaide, which stretched across the River Torrens Valley and included the city centre (South Adelaide) and North Adelaide. The square was named by the Street Naming Committee on 23 May 1837 after Princess Victoria, then heir presumptive to the British throne. In 2003, as part of the Adelaide City Council's dual naming initiative, it was given a second name, Tarndanyangga (later changed to Tarntanyangga), in the Kaurna language of the original inhabitants.

The square has been modernised and altered several times over its lifetime. It has become a tradition for a 24.5 metre high Christmas tree to be erected in the northern part of the square during the Christmas season.

Victoria Square, named after Princess Victoria (later Queen Victoria) in 1836, is the central and most significant of Adelaide’s squares. Due to the importance placed on the Square by the Council and people of Adelaide, it has seen, and continues to see, numerous redevelopments, alterations, redesigns and planting schemes, designed to improve both its appearance and usability.
