Adelaide Coari (4 November 1881 – 16 February 1966) was an Italian teacher, trade unionist and Roman Catholic social activist.
Coari was born into an unaffluent family in Milan, Italy. As a young woman she studied journalism and at 20 years old became a Christian feminist. Her first job was editorial assistant at the Lega Cattolica Femminile's monthly journal L'Azione muliebre, where she later became editor. Inspired by the work of Romolo Murri, Coari helped found the Gruppo di Donne Democratiche Cristiane. In 1904 she left to start Pensiero e Azione, a fortnightly publication promoting women's unionization, and was involved in Milan's Women's Federation. In 1908 the church authorities suppressed Pensiero e Azione on suspicion of modernism, and Coari abandoned union activism for teaching and other charitable work.
