Noarlunga Centre is a suburb in the City of Onkaparinga in the southern suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia. The suburb is mostly commercial, being dominated by the Centro Colonnades shopping centre and the small 'Inspire Noarlunga' estate to the east of Goldsmith Road. The suburb is bordered by Beach Road to the north, Dyson Road to the west, Goldsmith Road to the south and the Southern Expressway to the east. Burgess Drive, Seaman Road and David Witton Drive are the main thoroughfares inside the boundaries of the suburb.
The name Noarlunga is an English adaptation of the native Kaurna word Nurlongga, meaning 'at the curvature', referring to the horseshoe bend near the mouth of the Onkaparinga River.
Sharing the name Noarlunga are the two adjacent seaside suburbs, Port Noarlunga and Port Noarlunga South, together with the historic township of Old Noarlunga that is located on the Onkaparinga River.
Port Noarlunga was the original town centre prior to Noarlunga Centre being constructed.
Noarlunga English adaptation of the kaurna name has also been spelt as Nglungga.
