Adolfo Antonio Suárez Rivera (9 January 1927 in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas – 22 March 2008 in Monterrey, Nuevo León) was a Mexican cardinal in the Catholic Church who also served as Bishop of Tepic, Tlalnepantla and Archbishop of Monterrey.

Suárez Rivera worked for about ten years as a professor of classical literature and philosophy at the diocesan seminary of San Cristóbal de las Casas, then was a department head and secretary in the Archdiocesan Curia.

He advised the Christian Family Movement and helped found the Union for Mutual Episcopal Aid in the 1960s and 1970s, in addition to serving as a parish priest.

He was made a cardinal by Pope John Paul II in the consistory of 26 November 1994, and given the title of Cardinal-Priest of Nostra Signora di Guadalupe a Monte Mario.

Although eligible to vote in the 2005 papal conclave that elected Pope Benedict XVI, Suárez Rivera was one of only two cardinal electors unable to attend for medical reasons (the other being Jaime Sin of the Philippines).
