Adolfo Luque (August 4, 1890 - July 3, 1957) was a Major League Baseball pitcher who was originally from Cuba. As a blue-eyed, fair-skinned, white Cuban, he was one of several white Cubans to make it in Major League Baseball at a time when non-whites were excluded that is to say before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier. Between 1911 and 1929 alone, seventeen Cuban-born Caucasian players played in the Major Leagues.
Luque was inducted into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame in 1967.
