Adamsdown is an area in the city of Cardiff, Wales. It was supposedly named after Adam Kygnot, a porter at Cardiff Castle. Most of the streets in this area are named after metals, precious stones and planets. Cardiff Magistrates' Court, a Reform Synagogue and several temples can be found in this district.

Adamsdown is one of the older suburbs of Cardiff. It is about 5 minutes walk into the commercial city centre. It is largely a residential area. There is a strong community spirit with young working professionals and family groups. There is a good supply of schooling in the area as well as after school activities for all age groups. For the young at heart there are leisure facilities such as the Rubicon Dance centre, Star Leisure Centre and Esporta. Adamsdown is undergoing regeneration.

The Welsh Icons web project was created in, and is still run from Adamsdown.
