Association for the Defense of Macau Interests (Portuguese: Associação para a Defesa dos Interesses de Macau; Chinese: 澳門公民協會; lit. 'Macau Citizens Association'; ADIM) was a Portuguese conservative and localist political association based in Macau. Founded on 19 June 1974 by Delfino José Rodrigues Ribeiro and Carlos Augusto Corrêa Paes d’Assumpção, ADIM collaborated politically with Portuguese Social Democratic Center (CDS) in Portugal, as both shared similar ideology.

ADIM is a political association of Portuguese origin and of a conservative and localist nature founded in 1974 by a group of Macanese, among which were Delfino José Rodrigues Ribeiro and Carlos Augusto Corrêa Paes d’Assumpção, who naturally became the leader of this association. ADIM maintained a close political collaboration relationship with the CDS, whose ideology was similar to that of ADIM.
