Adam Martin Wyant (September 15, 1869 – January 5, 1935) was an American politician who served as Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Pennsylvania.

During his playing career, Wyant was cited by his coach at Chicago, Amos Alonzo Stagg, as “one of the best men that ever donned the canvas jacket” (which was then a part of the football uniform).

Adam was named after his paternal grandfather whose ancestors (originally spelled Weyandt) were early German settlers of Bedford County, Pennsylvania arriving in October 1770 from Freinsheim, Palatinate, Germany.

In 1895, Adam graduated from the University of Chicago and returned to western Pennsylvania to teach in Mt.

[14][15][16] In Greensburg, Wyant was widely known for his football skills and, at 6'0" and 196 pounds, he was considered a big person for that era.

[17][18][19] In the summer of 1897, he ended his football career and studied law at the University of Pittsburgh, and was admitted to the Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania Bar in 1902.
