'''Whyalla''' {{IPAc-en|w|aɪ|ˈ|æ|l|ə}} is a city in [[South Australia]]. It was founded as '''Hummock's Hill''', and was known by that name until 1916. It is the fourth most populous city in the Australian state of South Australia after [[Adelaide]], [[Mount Gambier]], and [[Gawler]], and along with [[Port Pirie]] and [[Port Augusta]] is one of the three towns to make up the "Iron Triangle".  It is a [[seaport]] located on the east coast of the [[Eyre Peninsula]] and is known as the "Steel City" due to its integrated steelworks and shipbuilding heritage. The [[Whyalla Steelworks]] is the major employer in the town, and has in February 2025 been put into [[voluntary administration]] by the [[Government of South Australia]]. The port of Whyalla has been exporting iron ore since 1903.
