Statue of Adolf, Duke of Bavaria at the New Town Hall (Munich)

Adolf (7 January 1434, Munich - 24 October 1441, Munich) was a German nobleman. He was a Duke of Bavaria-Munich in the House of Wittelsbach.

He was the eldest son of William III, Duke of Bavaria and Margaret of Cleves. His younger brother William of Bavaria-Munich died in infancy. Since William III's brother Ernest and Ernest's son Albert III were available as ruling dukes, Adolf's role was very limited. Having been made a duke at the age of one, he died aged only seven and thus had little effect on the duchy's fortunes.
