The South Australian Pipes and Drums (SAPD) is a Grade 4 Pipe Band based in Adelaide, Australia.

History
The South Australian Pipes and Drums was formed in 2003 by members of the Adelaide Universities Regiment Pipe Band. In 2003 the Adelaide Universities Regiment Pipe band was invited to perform at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. Despite significant lobbying by members of the band, the Australian Army refused to let the band perform due to the cost and risk involved. As a result of this refusal a number of the members of the Universities Regiment formed the South Australian Pipes and Drums.
