Grenfell Centre, formerly known as Oracle House and JLW Building, nicknamed Black Stump, is a high rise office building located at 25 Grenfell Street in the Adelaide city centre, South Australia.

A building of the same name still exists at the University of South Australia's North Terrace campus, originally the South Australian School of Mines and Industries.
