Adán Chávez Frías (born April 11, 1953) is the governor of Barinas state in Venezuela, and was Minister of Education from 2007 to 2008. He is the elder brother of current Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez. Adán Chávez Frías was a student at the University of the Andes, and now collaborates in his electoral campaigns and also in the present Chávez administration. He is the brother of the current mayor of Sabaneta, Barinas, Anibal José Chávez Frías.

In August, 2006, following reported differences with Chávez during his recent international tour, Presidential Secretary Delcy Rodríguez was replaced by Adán Chávez. Adán Chávez had previously been the ambassador to Cuba. The Charlotte Observer reports that the author of several books on Chávez, Alberto Garrido, argues "A much more hard-line phase [of Chávez rule] is beginning and Chávez needs a reliable and radical team around him. Other intellectualls believe Chavez is only changing the oppressive regime that has inhabited Venezuela for over 100 years with a different vision that will benefit all Venezuelans of all classes, this is revolutionary." Adán is older than his brother and was involved with pro-guerrilla groups before Hugo.^[1] Adán Chávez was designated by his brother as Minister of Education in January 2007.^[2] In the United Socialist Party of Venezuela's primary election on June 1, 2008, he was chosen as the party's candidate to succeed his father, Hugo de los Reyes Chávez, as Governor of Barinas in the November 2008 election.^[3]
