The Adelaide Football Club is an Australian rules football club based in Adelaide, South Australia, which fields teams in the Australian Football League (AFL) and AFL Women's (AFLW). It has been in the AFL since 1991 and AFLW since 2017, and (as of 2023) has had 11 AFL coaches and two AFLW coaches.

In the AFL, two of these (Mark Bickley and Scott Camporeale) were interim coaches. Bickley coached the remainder of 2011 after the resignation of Neil Craig, and Camporeale coached the remainder of 2015 after the death of Phil Walsh. Craig was also an interim coach, after Gary Ayres resigned in 2004, but then secured the full-time role the next year. In 2022, coach Matthew Nicks missed a match due to COVID-19, and Scott Burns replaced Nicks for the match.
