Adèle Riché (1791–1887) was a French painter. Riché was born, and lived her life in France. She is the daughter of François-Joseph Riché, chief gardener of the Paris Jardin des Plantes. A pupil of Jan Frans van Dael and Gerard van Spaendonck., she is known for her still life paintings, including watercolors, as well as her portraits. She worked most of her life as a botanical painter for the French Natural History Museum in Paris. There, she painted numerous watercolor on vellum for the Museum's collection, as well as illustrating François André Michaux's 1813 Histoire des arbres forestiers de l'Amerique Septentrionale. Her techniques included botanical, entomological, and natural painting, oil, watercolor, and on vellum, and engraving, as well as hand-colouring. She collaborated with Henri-Joseph, Pierre-Joseph Redouté, and Pancrace Bessa, also botanical artists. Apart from her scientific illustrative work, she is also a gold medalist in 1831's Salon. Riché died in Fontainebleau, France in 1878.
