Adela of Pfalzel was a Frankish noblewoman and Benedictine abbess who lived in the late seventh and early eighth centuries. Born around 660, she is identified as a possible daughter of Dagobert II. Following the death of her husband, Alberic, she entered a monastery near Trier, which she is often credited with founding. Serving as an abbess, she dedicated her life to the Benedictine order. She died in 734 or 735 at the Pfalzel monastery, leaving her possessions to the religious community.
