"Adalida" is a song recorded by American country music artist George Strait. It was released in March 1995 as the third single from his album Lead On. It peaked at number 3 in the United States, and number 2 in Canada. It was written by Mike Geiger, Woody Mullis and Michael Huffman.

The song is an uptempo, in which the narrator refers to a "Cajun queen" named Adalida.

Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, calling it a "zydeco-spiced single." She goes on to say that in the hands of a lesser singer, "a song like this would have been difficult to stretch."Alanna Nash of Entertainment Weekly was less favorable, saying that it "fails to challenge him in even the slightest way".
