Ila is the wife of Commander Adama in Battlestar Galactica. She was an off-screen character, never seen, though referred to several times through the course of the series, and a painting of her was briefly shown in the pilot episode. (The person in the painting is actress Sophia Loren.)

Ila was killed, when the Cylons raided Caprica during the Peace Conference ambush. She is the mother to Captain Apollo, Lieutenant Zac and Lieutenant Athena.

Ila's analogue on the reimagined Battlestar Galactica is Carolanne Adama, mother to Lee "Apollo" Adama and ex-wife of William Adama. She is seen only in the memories of other characters, having been killed in the Cylon attack on the colonies.
