The Portrait of Adèle Besson is a 1918 oil painting in the Post-Impressionist style made by Auguste Renoir, depicting the wife of George Besson. The painting represents Renoir's late work period (1892–1919). The couple gave a large bequest to the Museum of Fine Arts in Besançon (France).
Their collection consisted of works of contemporary art. The installation of the collection at the Museum caused the expansion of the museum building, including the construction of the central staircase by Louis Miquel. This picture is part of their bequest.
