Adelia is a genus of flowering plants in the spurge family, Euphorbiaceae, subfamily Acalyphoideae. It is native to Latin America and the Caribbean, with one species extending northward into the southernmost part of Texas.{{cite journal | last1 = De-Nova | first1 = J.A. | last2 = Sosa | first2 = V. | last3 = Steinmann | first3 = V.W. | year = 2007 | title = A synopsis of Adelia (Euphorbiaceae s.s.) | doi = 10.1600/036364407782250535 | journal = Systematic Botany | volume = 32 | issue = 3 | pages = 583–595 | s2cid = 85790156 }}{{cite journal | last1 = Martínez Gordillo | first1 = M. | last2 = Ramírez | first2 = J.

The name is derived from the Greek words α (a), meaning "not", and δήλος (delos), meaning "visible." It refers to the difficulties Linnaeus experienced interpreting the genus.{{cite thesis |chapter-url=http://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/315 |title=Phylogenetics, Conservation, and Historical Biogeography of the West Indian Members of the Adelieae (Euphorbiaceae) |first=Brett |last=Jestrow |degree=Ph.D. |publisher=Florida International University |year=2010 |chapter=Introduction |access-date=2011-08-08}}
