  • アドルフ・リッケンバッカー（Adolph Rickenbacker、1887年4月1日 – 1976年3月7日）は、スイス生まれのアメリカ合衆国に帰化した楽器製造者、経営者。ギター・メーカーのリッケンバッカーなどを創業した。 リッケンバッカーはスイスのバーゼルで、ドイツ系のアドルフ・アダム・リッゲンバッハー（Adolf Adam Riggenbacher）として生まれた。 1891年、一家はアメリカ合衆国にスイス・ドイツ系移民として、英語風のリッケンバッカー（Rickenbacher）と改姓し、オハイオ州コロンバスに住むようになった。少年期のアドルフは、母が死に、鉄道事故で両脚を失って酒に溺れた父に養育を放棄され、辛うじて長姉に育てられた。青年期になるとアドルフは自分の名を Adolph と綴るようになった。コロンバスで知り合った同じドイツ系のシャーロッテ・カマラー（Charlotte Kammarer）と結婚して、イリノイ州に移り、1918年にカリフォルニア州南部へ移住した。 リッケンバッカーはギター・メーカーの将来性を確信しておらず、1953年に、南カリフォルニアにおけるエレクトリック・ギター・ブームの先駆者だったフランシス・ケアリ・ホール（Francis Cary Hall）に、事業を売却した。 (ja)
