Ramsay is a single-member electoral district for the South Australian House of Assembly. It is named after Alexander Ramsay, who was general manager of the South Australian Housing Trust for 25 years. It is a 24.7 km² suburban electorate north of Adelaide—based on the angle between Main North Road and the Port Wakefield Road, Ramsay covers the outer northern Adelaide suburbs of Brahma Lodge, Burton, Direk, a portion of Elizabeth South, Elizabeth Vale, a portion of Paralowie, Salisbury, Salisbury South, Salisbury Plain and Salisbury North.
Ramsay was first contested at the 1985 election. Two of three representatives of the electorate have served as Premier of South Australia. It is a safe Labor seat, with the fifth-largest Labor margin in the state at the 1997 election, second-largest at the 2002 election, and largest at the 2006 election where Labor won 71.5 percent of the first preference vote and 78.5 percent of the two-party vote, and the largest at the 2010 election. A 2012 Ramsay by-election occurred on 11 February as a result of Mike Rann's resignation from parliament, Labor easily retained the seat and maintained the largest Labor seat margin. It had the second largest margin following the 2014 election.
At the 2020 redistribution, Ramsay gained the suburbs of Brahma Lodge, Burton, Direk, Elizabeth Vale and Salisbury South. It also gained a portion of the suburb of Elizabeth South and the remainder of the suburb of Salisbury North but lost the suburb of Salisbury Downs and a portion of the suburb of Paralowie to the Electorate of Playford.
