Adam Kemball "Dick" Dein (1889 – 9 May 1969) was an Australian politician. Born in Orange, New South Wales, he was educated at public schools before becoming a goldminer and a farmer. Moving to Sydney he became a teacher. In 1929, he contested the Division of Lang in the Australian House of Representatives as a Nationalist, but was unsuccessful. He ran again in 1931 under the banner of the United Australia Party and won

Dein's career in Parliament was short-lived. A redistribution ahead of the 1934 election turned Lang into a very safe Labor seat. Rather than face certain defeat, Dein contested the Senate instead, and was successful. He was defeated in 1940 and he retired, dying in 1969.^[1]
