Adam Morton FRSC (1945 – 2020) was a Canadian philosopher.

Morton's work focused on how we understand one another's behaviour in everyday life, with an emphasis on the role mutual intelligibility plays in cooperative activity.

He also wrote on ethics, decision-making, philosophy of language and epistemology.

His later work concerned our vocabulary for evaluating and monitoring our thinking.
