I own a MacBook Pro 2019 edition which has 4 Thunderbolt ports. I own a Thunderbolt 3 cord which plugs into one of the MacBook ports. However, the plug at the other end does NOT fit into the charging port of my iPhone SE 2020 edition. Is there an adapter for this? I've been looking but cannot find one that will receive the Thunderbolt 3 male and plug into my SE.
If so, please provide a link to your recommendation.
All iPhones, not just the SE models, use Lightning connectors ... and yes, you can get a USB-C to Lightning cable to charge your phone.
Apple, amongst others, sell these. Here's the link for the one provided by Apple:

Thank you for your reply. I already have a lightening cord with the same connector at both ends. Is there an adapter where the lightening cord can plug into it, but then has a USB (c) connector to pug into my phone? I don't want to have to buy another cord if I can help it.
Ok, again, your iPhone SE does not have either a Thunderbolt, or USB-C port. Instead, it is a Lightning port. Your MBP would have Thunderbolt / USB-C ports, which share the same physical shape. What is typically used in this case would be a USB-C to Lightning cable ... and what I was providing you a link for.
If I understand your post, you first stated that you have a Thunderbolt 3 cable that has Thunderbolt 3/USB-C connectors on both ends. If you don't want to get the cable I suggested, you will still need to get an adapter ... which may cost more.
The only one that Apple sells is a Lightning to USB 3 adapter, which I don't think would work. As such, you will need to do an Internet search for someone that sells a Lightning to USB-C adapter. Good luck!
I understand. New cable ordered. Thanks you so much for your help! Great job!!
