Adele Neuhauser (born 17 January 1959 in Athens, Greece) is an Austrian actress. She began her career as a theater actress. Later she also worked for television and cinema. She is a member of the Akademie des Österreichischen Films.

Adele Neuhauser was born in Athens but moved at the age of four with her family from Greece to Vienna, where she grew up. Her mother left the family with Neuhauser's half-brother and Neuhauser and her brother stayed with their Greek father George. Later she grew up alone with him. At the age of ten she cut her wrist and until the age of twentyone she tried several times more to commit suicide.

After separating from her husband Zoltan Paul (), Neuhauser moved to Vienna. They have a son who is studying jazz guitar in Graz. She likes to hike, mostly on her own.

Neuhauser's grandparents from the Waldviertel were academic painters. Her brother, Peter Marquant followed in their footsteps. The sgraffito on the Vienna Künstlerhaus have been created by her grandfather. Because her grandfather was of the opinion that there should be only one painter in the family, her grandmother turned to the production of tapestry, Punch figures and worked for the Wiener Werkstätten. Her great-grandmother, although not personally affected by the NS race laws, went voluntarily with her Jewish husband to the concentration camp where both died.

Neuhauser wanted to be an actress since she was six. 1976 - 1978 she trained as actor at the drama school Schauspielschule Krauss. In her early twenties she moved to Germany and began to play at theaters in Münster,Essen, Regensburg, at the Staatstheater Mainz and occasionally also in Vienna.
