Adrian Minune (real name Adrian Simionescu, born 24 September 1974) is a Romanian manele singer of Romani descent. He was born in the Ștefăneștii de Jos commune near Bucharest, more exactly in the commune centre.

Came to fame in the early 2000’s with popular hits such as: “Jumătate tu, Jumătate eu”, “Așa sunt zilele mele”, “Chef de Chef” and “Au inima mea”. He is also recognised by his small stature, previously using the stage name Adrian Copilul Minune (Adrian the Wonder Kid) but this hasn’t stopped him from being one of the most recognised artists in Romania. One major hit for the Manele Singer was at the '''Neversea Festival''' in 2019, when the Swedish DJ '''Salvatore Ganacci''' honored him by playing his famous song “Așa sunt zilele mele”.

Adrian Minune married his longtime life-partner Elena in 2004, and has two daughters and a son with her. His mother, Florenţa, who raised him alone since he was two years old, also lives with them.
