The Independent Weekly, established in September 2004, is an independent newspaper published and circulated in Adelaide, capital of South Australia. The newspaper is released weekly on Saturdays to a readership of thirty nine thousand.

The Independent Weekly has a centre-left political focus.

The Independent Weekly regularly features articles of critical and intellectual substance, especially with regard to local issues, and is a champion of the Arts in Adelaide. Its international coverage is largely sourced from its London namesake.

The newspaper launched an online subscriber daily news service on the anniversary of its first year in operation. Called Indaily, the service is distributed for free and includes the day's news, short gossipy articles from "Insider", and reviews and listings of events in Adelaide.

In March 2006, The Independent Weekly switched to a tabloid format and moved its release from Sunday to Saturday. Publisher Paul Hamra took on the reins as acting editor, changing the structure of the organisation from utilising a full staff of reporters to using contributors and articles sourced from Fairfax, AFP and The Independent in London.
