Adolphe Duperly (1801–1865) was a French engraver, lithographer and printer who settled in Kingston, Jamaica, and who produced daguerreotypes and then founded a photography business.

Duperly was born in Paris, but was in Jamaica in the 1830s and produced a lithograph of the 1831 Baptist War and the emancipation celebrations in Kingston in 1838. He also provided a pictorial chronicle of African-Caribbean people in the 1830s. During the 1840s he published a collection of daguerreotypes of Jamaica.{{cite web|title=Adolphe Duperly and Sons|url=http://www.lib.cam.ac.uk/rcs_photographers/entry.php?id=165|website=RCS Photographers Index|publisher=Cambridge University Library|accessdate=6 January 2016}}
