Adrian Gerald Foley, 8th Baron Foley (b. 9 August 1923) is a British peer and a former composer and pianist.

Upon the death of his father, the 7th Baron Foley, in 1927, Foley succeeded to his title at the age of three. In 1946, he composed music for the film Piccadilly Incident and for Bond Street in 1947. He has also wrote music for such writers as Eric Maschwitz and Phil Park, amongst others. Lord Foley also appeared on an episode of the American game show, "To Tell the Truth" in 1957.

In 1958, he met the wealthy American heiress, Patricia Zoellner during a production of Huntingdon Hartford's Jane Eyre with Errol Flynn, in New York City. On 23 December of that year, the couple were married and they had two children, Alexandra Mary (b. 1960) and Thomas Henry (b. 1961) before divorcing in 1971. A year later, he married another wealthy heiress, Ghislaine née Dresselhuys (d. 2000 — an ex-wife of the 6th Earl of Caledon and the 4th Baron Ashcombe), the only daughter of Dutch-born and Long Island resident, Cornelius William Dresselhuys and Edith née Merandon du Plessis (an ex-wife of the 1st Viscount Kemsley).
