Johann Friedrich Adam, later called Michael Friedrich Adams was a late 18th century botanist from St. Petersburg, Russia.

He studied from 1795-1796 in the medical school of St. Petersburg. In the years 1800-1802 he traveled across Transcaucasia in the entourage of Count Apollo Mussin-Pushkin (1760-1805). In the following he led a mission of Count Juri Alexandrowich Golowkin to China being the zoologist of the school. The mission failed and he was sent to Yakutsk. In 1805-1806 he travelled along the Lena river to find a famous mammoth.

Later in his life, he taught as assistant professor for botanics at the medico-surgical academy of Moscow.

He died in 1806.
