Verdun is a small town in the Adelaide Hills, Australia, on the road from Hahndorf to Balhannah.
Verdun is approximately 4 km from Hahndorf and 5 km from Bridgewater. There is one school, one pub and a general store.
Verdun originally had the German name Grunthal, after being named by the Prussian settlers who established the town. The town was renamed in 1917 after one of the bloodiest battles of the First World War, the Battle of Verdun.
