Adelina Doris Monteiro (Rio de Janeiro, 23 October 1934 - Rio de Janeiro, 24 July 2023) was a Brazilian singer whose career has spanned over fifty years. She has enjoyed success both as a singer and as an actress, and has recorded over twenty solo studio albums.

In 1947, at 13 years old, Doris Monteiro had her debut on radio. She won the weekly contest for several weeks in a row. In the next year she started to work regularly in the Rádio Tupi. In 1951, she recorded her first album, titled "Se Você Se Importasse", which stayed in first place in the charts for three months.

One of the first singers to enter in the bossa nova style, Doris had various success: "Agulha no Palheiro", "Graças a Deus" (Fernando César), "Mocinho Bonito" (Billy Blanco) - this song reached the top of the Brazilian Hit Parade in 1957 -, "Gostoso É Sambar" (João Melo), "Samba de Verão" (Marcos Valle/Paulo Sérgio Valle), "Mudando de Conversa" (Maurício Tapajós/Hermínio Bello de Carvalho), "Dó-Ré-Mi" (Fernando César), "Joga a Rede No Mar" (Fernando César/Nazareno de Brito), "Apelo" (Baden Powell), "Palhaçada," "É Isso Aí," and "Alô Fevereiro."

The success also took her to the cinema. She starred in Agulha no Palheiro, directed by Alex Viany, and she was elected the Best Actress of 1953. After this, Doris worked in seven other films, including the Italian production "Copacabana Palace". She continued to perform throughout the 2000s and 2010s, and died of natural causes at home, in the age of 88, in late July 2023.
