Calvary Wakefield Hospital (previously Wakefield Hospital) is a private Catholic hospital in Adelaide, Australia founded in 1883.[1] It provides acute care with inpatient and outpatient facilities. It also provides dental care and plastic and reconstructive surgery to patients.

Since its 2006 acquisition from Ramsay Health Care, the hospital has been one of the Little Company of Mary (LCM) Health Care providers overseen by the international religious institute Sisters of the Little Company of Mary.[2] Prior to its acquisition, the 180-bed hospital was called Wakefield Hospital.[3] According to LCM Health Care, it "is the oldest private hospital in South Australia."[4]
