Adèle Ferrand (20 October 1817 – 1 April 1848) was a 19th-century French painter and draughtswoman on the island of La Réunion in the southwestern Indian Ocean.

Born in Nancy, Ferrand became very early a master of the Romantic school before settling in the colony then called Bourbon to follow her husband, half-brother of the extremely rich Gabriel Le Coat de Kerveguen [fr].

She died at the age of 30 from typhoid fever in the island of La Réunion.

Her paintings and drawings are kept at the Musée Léon-Dierx [fr] and available online on the Iconothèque historique de l'océan Indien [fr].
