William Adams (15 October 1823 – 7 August 1904) was an English railway engineer. He was the Locomotive Superintendent of the North London Railway from 1858 to 1873; the Great Eastern Railway from 1873 until 1878 and the London and South Western Railway from then until his retirement in 1895. He is best known for his locomotives featuring the Adams bogie, a device with lateral centring springs (initially made of rubber) to improve high-speed stability. He should not be mistaken for William Bridges Adams (1797–1872) a locomotive engineer who, confusingly, invented the Adams axle – a radial axle that William Adams incorporated in designs for the London and South Western Railway.

Er ist nicht zu verwechseln mit William Bridges Adams (1797–1872), einem anderen Lokomotiveningenieur, der verwirrenderweise die Adamsachse erfand – eine radiale Achse, die bei Lokomotiven von William Adams verwendet wurde.
