First of all  you should add templates admin base site html to your project  This file can safely be overwritten since it   s a file that the Django devs have intended for the exact purpose of customizing your admin site a bit  Here   s an example of what to put in the file      extends  admin base html        load i18n        block title      title         trans  Some Organisation       endblock        block branding     lt style type  text css  gt     header            your style here         lt  style gt   lt h1 id  site-name  gt    trans  Organisation Website     lt  h1 gt     endblock        block nav-global      endblock      This is common practice  But I noticed after this that I was still left with an annoying    Site Administration    on the main admin index page  And this string was not inside any of the templates  but rather set inside the admin view  Luckily it   s quite easy to change  Assuming your language is set to English  run the following commands from your project directory     mkdir locale     manage py makemessages -l en   Now open up the file locale en LC MESSAGES django po and add two lines after the header information  the last two lines of this example    Project-Id-Version  PACKAGE VERSION n   Report-Msgid-Bugs-To   n   POT-Creation-Date  2010-04-03 03 25 0200 n   PO-Revision-Date  YEAR-MO-DA HO MI ZONE n   Last-Translator  FULL NAME  lt EMAIL ADDRESS gt  n   Language-Team  LANGUAGE  lt LL li org gt  n   MIME-Version  1 0 n   Content-Type  text plain  charset UTF-8 n   Content-Transfer-Encoding  8bit n   msgid  Site administration  msgstr  Main administration index    After this  remember to run the following command and reload your project   s server       manage py compilemessages   source  http   overtag dk wordpress 2010 04 changing-the-django-admin-site-title

As of Django 1 7 you don t need to override templates  You can now implement site header  site title  and index title attributes on a custom AdminSite in order to easily change the admin site   s page title and header text  Create an AdminSite subclass and hook your instance into your URLconf   admin py   from django contrib admin import AdminSite from django utils translation import ugettext lazy  class MyAdminSite AdminSite         Text to put at the end of each page s  lt title gt       site title   ugettext lazy  My site admin          Text to put in each page s  lt h1 gt   and above login form       site header   ugettext lazy  My administration          Text to put at the top of the admin index page      index title   ugettext lazy  Site administration    admin site   MyAdminSite     urls py   from django conf urls import patterns  include from myproject admin import admin site  urlpatterns   patterns          r  myadmin    include admin site urls        Update  As pointed out by oxfn you can simply set the site header in your urls py or admin py directly without subclassing AdminSite   admin site site header    My administration
