Adam Mohamad El-Abd (Arabic: آدم العبد; born 11 September 1984) is a professional footballer who plays as a defender for English club Shrewsbury Town. He has also played for the Egypt national team.
Born in Brighton, East Sussex, to an Egyptian father and a British mother, El-Abd holds dual-nationality. His older brother Joe plays professional rugby union and is currently playing for Oyonnax in France. His younger brother Sami was an apprentice at Brighton, before moving to non-League football with Crawley Town, Hayes & Yeading United, Whitehawk and Bognor Regis Town.
El-Abd joined Brighton's youth department when he was ten and was granted a scholarship there at 16. He signed his first professional contract of two-and-a-half years with Brighton & Hove Albion at the age of 19. He made his full league début for the club in the 2–1 win at Notts County in November 2003. He has since been a regular in the first team squad and can play either in defence at right-back or centre-half, or in a more defensive midfield type role.
During the game at Huddersfield Town on 18 March 2008, El-Abd was stretchered off with medial collateral ligament damage and ruled out for the remainder of the season.
