Arthur Adams (1820 - 1878) was a English physician and naturalist.

Adams was assistant surgeon on board HMS Samarang during the survey of the Malay Archipelago from 1843 to 1846. He edited the Zoology of the voyage of H.M.S. Samarang (1850). Adam White collaborated with him in the descriptions of the Crustacea from the voyage.
