Adele Rivero (March 10, 1908 – May 5, 1992) was an American chess player.
She won the first U.S Women's Chess Champion and held the title twice, in 1937 and 1940.
She was married in New York in 1931 (and then divorced) to a Spanish man named Dorotes D. Rivero.
She initially learned chess because her husband told her that "women didn't have the brains for the game".
