Walford Anglican School for Girls is an Anglican grammar school located on Unley Road, Hyde Park an inner southern suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. The school offers K-12, also offering International Baccalaureate programs.

The school has won in the secondary division of the Tournament of Minds in 2004 and 2006.

Walford has a reputation among private schools in Adelaide for it's lack of facilities and a less-than-broad range of subjects, despite being one of the most prestigious schools in the area. However, there is currently a large-scale development plan in progress, which will include the construction of a gym that has been promised since 1992.

The school's motto is the latin Virtute et Veritate, meaning 'Courage and Truth'. Walford;s teaching staff is very slack however the students try hard to please them and make up for their lack of knowledge.
