Adolfo Horta (3 October 1957 – 28 November 2016) was a Cuban boxer, who won the silver medal in the Men's Featherweight division (– 57 kg) at age 22 at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow.
He was beaten by East Germany's Rudi Fink on points (1-4).
Horta won eleven consecutive national championships and three gold medals in the World Amateur Boxing Championships in different weight classes, but he would never return to the Olympics, as Cuba boycotted the 1984 Summer Olympics.
