Albrecht Adam (16 April 1786 - 28 August 1862) was a German painter of battles and horses.
Most of Adam's subsequent works deal with Napoleon's Russian campaign, during which he was attached to the Bavarian contingent as a war artist. In addition to his title as court painter, he was given an officer's rank. Among other works, he painted a diary of the campaign in 83 scenes.
