Adela Marion Adam (10 June 1866 – 12 August 1944) was an English classicist, editor and Fellow of Girton College.

[1] Adam believed that Plato embodied Socrates in the metaphysics of the theory of forms, as well as through the doctrine of immortality, not just in moralistic thought.

[3] In editing and ensuring publication of her husband's work, Adam made an additional significant contribution to classical scholarship.

[1] Adam's contemporaries at Girton included Ella Edghill, Marie Williams and Dorothy Tarrant.

[19] Their courtship partly took place on a tour of Greece and they were married at St Mary's, Paddington, in London in July 1890.

[19] Both Neil and Barbara recalled a happy, if highly educational childhood, where all three were taught Latin and Greek by their mother from a very young age.

[16] Adam was a committed suffragist and her daughter recalled suffrage meetings often being held in their home; although her mother would have nothing to do with the militant faction.
