This is a list of members of the South Australian House of Assembly from 1933 to 1938, as elected at the 1933 state election:

:1 The governing Australian Labor Party had split into three separate factions immediately before the 1933 state election due to disputes over the handling of the Great Depression. Robert Richards, the ALP Premier going into the election, along with much of the parliamentary caucus, had been expelled from the party for supporting the Premier's Plan. Richards and his supporters accordingly contested the election under the banner of the Premier's Plan Labor Party. The official ALP, consisting of the party administration, several dissident MHAs and much of the party grassroots, ran a mostly new slate of candidates. A number of MHAs and party officials also formed a third faction, Lang Labor, associated with the ideas of New South Wales Premier Jack Lang. All three factions won seats in the election.:2 Two of the three Lang Labor MHAs, Bob Dale and Tom Howard left the party in April 1933 after falling out with leader Doug Bardolph and formed their own party, the South Australian Lang Labor Party.:3 Barossa independent MHA Dr Herbert Basedow died on June 4, 1933. LCL candidate Reginald Rudall won the resulting by-election on July 8.:4 Alexandra LCL MHA George Laffer died on December 7, 1933. Independent candidate George Connor won the resulting by-election on February 10, 1934. :5 The four Labor factions reunited in June 1934 after an extended reconciliation process. All members of the four factions rejoined the official ALP as a result.:6 Wooroora LCL MHA Archie Cameron resigned on August 7, 1934 in order to contest the federal seat of Barker at the 1934 federal election. Independent candidate Albert Robinson won the resulting by-election on September 29.:7 Adelaide MHA and former Lang Labor leader Doug Bardolph was expelled from the ALP in 1935. He served out the remainder of his term as an independent.:8 Port Pirie ALP MHA John Fitzgerald died on December 22, 1936. ALP candidate William Threadgold was elected to the vacancy unopposed on March 3, 1937.
