The South Australian Bushmen (known as the South Australian Citizen Bushmen to distinguish them from the later South Australian Imperial Bushmen) was a mounted infantry squadron of the Colony of South Australia that served in the Second Boer War, the third contingent contributed by the colony.

Raised in early 1900, the squadron was initially sent to Rhodesia, then entered the western Transvaal in June, where it operated until its return to Australia in April 1901.
