"Adios Gringos" is the sixth episode of the tenth season of the American television comedy drama Shameless, an adaptation of the British series of the same name. It is the 116th overall episode of the series and was written by Sherman Payne, and directed by Loren Yaconelli. It originally aired on Showtime on December 15, 2019.

The series is set on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, and depicts the poor, dysfunctional family of Frank Gallagher, a neglectful single father of six: Fiona, Phillip, Ian, Debbie, Carl, and Liam. He spends his days drunk, high, or in search of money, while his children need to learn to take care of themselves. The family's status is shaken after Fiona chooses to leave. In the episode, Frank and Liam work together to sell one of Carl’s babies to potential parents. Meanwhile, Mickey is released from prison, while Debbie fights for Franny's custody.

According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 0.89 million household viewers and gained a 0.21 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received mixed reviews from critics, although some praised the slight character development in the episode.
