The South Australia Act 1842 (5 & 6 Vict. c. 61) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, which repealed the South Australia Act 1834, as well as amendments made to that Act, and instituted a different form of Government over the Province of South Australia. The Act was introduced as a result of recommendations by a British parliamentary enquiry into the failure of the colonial administration which had brought the province of South Australia near bankruptcy in 1840, and gave the British Government full control of South Australia as a Crown Colony. The Act was passed on 30 July 1842.
