Ila of Caprica was the dead wife of Commander Adama in Battlestar Galactica. She was an off-screen character who was never actually seen, though she was referred to several times through the course of the series, and a likeness of her was briefly shown in the pilot episode. (The person actually depicted in the likeness is actress Sophia Loren.)

Ila was killed, along with many of her fellow Capricans, when the Cylons raided Caprica during the Peace Conference ambush. She was the mother of Captain Apollo, Lieutenant Zac, and Lieutenant Athena.

Ila's analogue on the reimagined Battlestar Galactica is Carolanne Adama, mother to Lee "Apollo" Adama and ex-wife of William Adama. She is seen only in the memories of other characters, having been killed in the Cylon attack on the colonies.
