Adriana Caselotti (May 16, 1916 - January 19, 1997) was an American actress and singer, best known for providing the voice and physical modeling (as shown in the picture at right) of Snow White in Walt Disney's first full-length animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, in 1937.

She overheard a phone conversation in which Walt Disney was asking her father, Guido, if he knew of any suitable voices for Snow White. She then approached him, suggesting herself for the role. After auditioning for the part in September 1934, she had offered the part and accepted it.
