Adele Wiseman was a Canadian author. Her parents were Russian-Jews who emigrated from the Ukraine to Canada, in part, to escape the pogroms that accompanied the Russian Civil War.

In 1956, Wiseman published her first novel, The Sacrifice, which won the Governor General's Award. Her only other novel, Crackpot, was published in 1974. Wiseman also published plays, children's stories, essays, and other non-fiction.
