Adeva (born Patricia Daniels, born December 13, 1960) is an American singer. She had a string of successful house and R&B hits in the late 1980s to early 1990s, including "Warning!", "I Thank You" and "Respect" (all three of which reached number 17 in the UK Singles Chart). She began singing professionally in the mid-1980s, releasing the single "In and Out of My Life" in 1988 on Easy Street Records.

Debut album Immediately after this, she signed with the UK label Cooltempo (a subsidiary of EMI) later in 1988 for UK sales exceeding 300,000 copies. In addition to "Respect", the album contained several other hit singles including "Warning!" and "I Thank You", both of which also reached No. 17 in the UK, becoming part of a trio of similarly placed hit records,

In 1997, Adeva released another album, New Direction, on Distinctive Records, but it was unsuccessful. It was her last album to date, although she was featured on various singles in 2003–04 with other artists, including Radical Noiz and Eric Prydz, who both sampled Adeva's 1988 single "In and out of My Life", which was also sampled by OnePhatDeeva in 1999. She was also featured on the 2004 single "Wish I Never Knew" by the Scandinavian dance act Slippery People.
