O Adeus de Fellini (Portuguese for Fellini's Farewell) is the debut album by Brazilian post-punk band Fellini. It was released in 1985 via the independent record label Baratos Afins and re-released in CD form in 1995, with an additional live track.
According to the band's frontman Cadão Volpato, the album's name is a nod to the English post-punk band The Durutti Column's 1980 debut, The Return of the Durutti Column.Interview with Cadão Volpato, 2008
The track "Outro Endereço, Outra Vida" features samples of English disc jockey John Peel's voice.
