Amigos dos Amigos (ADA, Friends of Friends) is a criminal organization that operates in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro. It arose from a conflict between the Comando Vermelho and Terceiro Comando, two other gangs which now are the principle rivals of ADA. ADA controls many drug selling points in the North and West zones.

ADA currently controls Rocinha, the largest favela in Rio de Janeiro, along with many other smaller favelas. With the assassination of the gang leader Bem-Te-Vi in 2005 by police, there was a renewed wave of violence as gangs fought for control over favelas previously controlled by ADA.
