The Acoustic Adrian Belew is the seventh solo album by Adrian Belew, released in 1993.[2] While Belew is predominantly known as an experimental electric guitarist who typically utilizes electronic effects, this album was an effort to feature his skills as a solo performer/songwriter/interpreter. Belew plays all the songs on acoustic guitar (with very minimal overdubs). At under 30 minutes, it is Adrian Belew's shortest album.

The album features new versions of songs from Belew's past (including 'Matte Kudasai', which he originally recorded with King Crimson), and two cover versions (a Beatles song, and a Roy Orbison tune). Of the four new songs on the record, both 'Burned By the Fire We Make' and 'Dream Life' would appear in full electric versions on Belew's next album Here the following year; 'Peace On Earth' is a rearrangement of 'Tango Zebra' (from Belew's 1986 instrumental album Desire Caught By the Tail) with new lyrics; and 'Martha Adored' is a tape-reversed presentation of an earlier album track ('Dream Life'), with additional overdubs.
