Adel Zu'aiter (Arabic: عادل زعيتر ; also Romanized as Adil Zuaiter and Zu'aytir, among other spellings) (1895–1957) was a Palestinian lawyer and translator.

As a lawyer, he voluntarily represented young political activists from Nablus who had been imprisoned under the British Mandate system. He was a "prolific translator from French into Arabic," whose translations included works from Rousseau, Voltaire, Anatole France, Montesquieu, and Lamartine.

He was the father of Wa'el Zu'aytir. His younger brother was Akram Zu'aiter.
