The Right Hon. William Adam of Blair Adam FRSE KC (2 August 1751 – 17 February 1839) was a Scottish advocate, barrister, politician and judge. He served as Solicitor General for Scotland (1802–1805) and as Lord Chief Commissioner of the Jury Court (1815–39). His political career was affected by his father's periodic financial problems, as sometimes the family had substantial wealth and sometimes it was in difficulties, forcing Adam to concentrate his attention on his legal practice. He rose to be Lord Lieutenant of Kinross-shire.

Dopo essere stato ammesso nell'Ordine degli avvocati, fu eletto alla Camera dei Comuni. In seguito a una sfida a duello, divenne amico del politico Charles James Fox, legame fondamentale per la sua futura carriera politica. Grazie all'attività politica riuscì a ripagare i debiti contratti dal padre, ma dovette affrontare diverse calamità che interessarono i suoi affari, ad esempio quando un'inondazione distrusse la pescheria di salmoni di sua proprietà.
