Adam Ciralsky (born September 22, 1971) is an American award-winning journalist, TV and film producer and attorney.

His television career includes CBS News' 60 Minutes and later NBC News where, over the course of a decade, he has won many of journalism’s highest honors, including three Emmys, a Peabody Award for Significant & Meritorious Achievement in Broadcasting & Cable, a Polk Award for Outstanding Television Reporting, an Alfred I. duPont–Columbia University Award for Breaking News and Sustained Coverage, a Loeb Award for Distinguished Business and Financial Journalism and a Barone Award for Excellence in National Affairs/Public Policy Journalism. He now writes long-form articles for Vanity Fair, where he has written subjects ranging from the Pentagon’s chronic mismanagement of the most expensive weapons program in U.S. history, Israel narrowly averting a large-scale terrorist attack, interview with the leader of Hamas, and an exposé of a world-renowned surgeon as a fabulist.

Before beginning his journalism career, Ciralsky was recruited to join the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) while still in law school. Described as “a Wünderkind of the national security establishment”, Ciralsky began his career in the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD).

Ciralsky grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and attended George Washington University in Washington, DC from which he graduated magna cum laude with a B.A. in International Affairs. His work on weapons proliferation issues landed him a research scholarship in Arms Control, Disarmament and International Security at the University of Illinois where, in 1996, he received his Juris Doctor (J.D.).
