Adrienne Fazan (b. 9 May 1906, Los Angeles, California – d. 23 August 1986, Los Angeles, California) was an American film editor.

She first started cutting films in 1933. She worked on many MGM films, including The Tell-Tale Heart (1941), Anchors Aweigh (1945), Singin' in the Rain (1952), and Kismet (1955).
