Adrian Belew (né à Covington dans le Kentucky le 23 décembre 1949) est un guitariste et chanteur américain.

Resté méconnu du grand public, il a notamment accompagné Frank Zappa (il figure sur le film musical Baby Snakes), David Bowie ainsi que Talking Heads en tournée à la fin des années 1970. Il rencontre Robert Fripp en 1980 avec qui il reformera King Crimson l'année suivante avec Tony Levin et Bill Bruford. Belew fera parti de toutes les incarnations suivantes de Crimson.

Les deux traits caractéristiques de Belew sont sa fascination pour les Beatles (précisément John Lennon, qui influence beaucoup son matériel chanté) ainsi que ses solos de guitare complètement atonals faisant usage d'une panoplie de synthétiseurs (une composante essentielle du nouveau son King Crimson).
