Adolf Reinach (1883 – 1917) was a German philosopher of the Contemporary era, associated with Phenomenology.

Adolf Bernhard Philipp Reinach was a German philosopher, lawyer, and one of the most original of the early phenomenologists. A pupil of Husserl and the leading philosophical voice of the Munich-Gottingen circle, he applied phenomenological method to the philosophy of law, developing in his Apriori Foundations of the Civil Law a celebrated theory of social acts: promises, commands, and other speech acts that create normative realities by their very performance. Killed in the First World War at thirty-three after volunteering for the German army, he left a deep mark on Edith Stein, Hedwig Conrad-Martius, and a wider Catholic phenomenology.
