Adam Boland (born 1977) is an Australian television producer and director. He was Network Ten's Director of morning television from March 2013 until 23 January 2014, when he resigned due to ill-health. He had previously been the executive producer of the Seven Network's breakfast show Sunrise and created The Morning Show and Weekend Sunrise.

Boland was born in Sydney, Australia, in 1977, and lived his early life in Parramatta, Sydney. He then moved to Queensland with his mother. He studied journalism and politics at the University of Canberra in 1993, but left after one year to pursue a cadetship.

His first job was as a cadet reporter at radio station 4BC in Brisbane from 1994 to 1995. He then moved briefly to Melbourne radio station 3AW before starting his television career in 1995, as a Sky News Australia producer, where he remained until 1997. From 1997 until 1999, Boland served as the Cairns Bureau Chief of Network Ten, gaining notoriety for interviewing comedian Jerry Seinfeld at Cairns Airport. Before working on Sunrise, Boland was a senior producer in ATN-7's Sydney newsroom.

From February 2002 until November 2010, Boland was the executive producer for the Seven Network's breakfast show Sunrise. The show with Boland at the helm gained the position of number one breakfast morning program, pipping the Nine Network's Today out of the spot which it held for 20 years. He also created The Morning Show and Weekend Sunrise.
