Adam Wilhelm Moltke, 3rd Count of Bregentved (25 August 1785 – 15 February 1864) was a Danish nobleman, landowner, civil servant and politician, who in 1848–1852 was the first Prime Minister of Denmark under the new constitutional monarchy outlined in 1848 and signed as the Danish Constitution on 5 June 1849 by Frederick VII of Denmark.

[2] His paternal grandfather was Adam Gottlob Moltke, the influential Lord Steward and royal favourite of King Frederick V of Denmark and Norway.

[1][3] As a child, Moltke was tutored by Jacob Peter Mynster, who later became the bishop of Zealand.

The cabinet, originally a Conservative-Liberal one, gradually became more and more openly conservative both because of the general liberal withdrawal and because of foreign pressure.

[6] Cape Moltke in Greenland was named after him in 1829 by Lieutenant Wilhelm August Graah (1793–1863).
