Adelanto Detention Facility is a privately operated federal prison in Adelanto, San Bernardino County, California. Owned and operated by the GEO Group, it consists of two separate facilities: East, which was an existing prison purchased in June 2010 from the City of Adelanto with a capacity of about 600 inmates, and the newly built West expansion completed in August 2012 with another 700 beds. After an additional expansion in 2015, the facility's capacity is now approximately 2000.

From 1991 Adelanto was a state prison for adult male inmates. Since May 2011 GEO has contracted with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to house federal immigration detainees here.

The prison, ICE's newest and largest in California, was the scene of immigration protests in November 2013.
