Adam Jay Gogic Federici (born 31 January 1985) is an Australian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for English club Bournemouth and the Australia national team.

Federici began his senior career at Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2003, but was only there briefly and soon switched to Torres. After a reasonably successful season for the Italian side, he joined Reading in 2005, and, following loan spells at Maidenhead United, Northwood and Carshalton Athletic, turned fully professional in 2006. A brief loan spell to Bristol City followed, before Federici made his Reading debut during the 2006–07 season. However, he was still unable to dislodge Marcus Hahnemann from the starting position, and remained second choice, even going on loan to Southend United in 2008. However, after this loan spell, an injury to Hahnemann gave Federici a prolonged run in the team, and he remained first choice for several seasons.

Federici started his career in Huskisson football Club, south-east of Nowra, and was part of the Australian Institute for Sport before moving to England at the age of 17.

Federici had trials at Sheffield Wednesday and Bolton Wanderers before a trial at Wolverhampton Wanderers led to him signing on a non-contract basis in February 2003 for the remainder of the season. After a season at Italian club Torres, he returned to England, undergoing a trial at Leeds United but failing to earn a deal.
