  • Adam Stephen (* 1718 in Rhynie, Aberdeenshire; † 16. Juli 1791 in Martinsburg, West Virginia) war ein schottischer Arzt und Offizier. Nachdem er sich in den Dreizehn Kolonien niederließ, diente er dort unter George Washington sowohl während des Siebenjährigen Krieges in der Kolonialmiliz von Virginia, als auch während des Unabhängigkeitskrieges in der Kontinentalarmee, wo er zuletzt eine Division kommandierte. Als es 1777 bei der Schlacht von Germantown zu einem von ihm verschuldeten Friendly Fire kam, da er zu jenem Zeitpunkt betrunken war, wurde er als Folge davon degradiert und unehrenhaft aus der Armee entlassen. 1778 gründete er dann die Stadt Martinsburg (West Virginia).
