Ade is an unincorporated community in Washington Township, Newton County, in the U.S. state of Indiana.
Ade was laid out as a town in 1906.[2] It was named for John Ade, the first recorder of Newton County and the father of George Ade, an American author and playwright.[3] A post office was established at Ade in 1904, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1912.[4]
