Adrian McAdam (born March 12, 1971) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with North Melbourne in the AFL during the early 1990's.
An Indigenous Australian, McAdam played in the Northern Territory Football League prior to being recruited by North Melbourne. Like his older brother Gilbert, he played with Southern Districts. During this time McAdam also captained the Northern Territory in the Teal Cup.
In 1993 he joined John Longmire and Wayne Carey in the North Melbourne forward line and kicked 7 goals on his debut. His goal tally was the most ever by a North Melbourne player on debut and he followed it up with 10 goals against Sydney the following week and then 6 goals against Footscray. This gave him a total of 23 goals from his first three games in the AFL (which is still a record) and he finished the year with 68 goals from his 17 games. He couldn't repeat this performance in 1994 and after managing just one game in 1995, his league career was effectively over.
He joined Collingwood for the 1996 season, but made no impact there.
