West Torrens Birkalla Soccer Club, commonly known as Birkalla, is a semi-professional soccer club based in Novar Gardens, a south-western suburb of Adelaide in the City of West Torrens.

The club currently plays in State League 1 South Australia, previously competing in the National Premier Leagues South Australia in 2022.
