Adam Malik (born 10 May 1967) is a former professional tennis player from Malaysia.
Malik was just 14 when he made his Davis Cup debut for Malaysia, against Indonesia in 1982.
He moved to Australia at the age of 16 to attend boarding school. After he completed his schooling he studied at the University of Kentucky in the United States. He played NCAA tennis for the university and was an All-American in both singles and doubles, before becoming the first every Malaysian player to turn professional.
It would be in doubles that he had most of his success on the ATP Tour. Malik and his former NCAA partner, Rich Benson, made the semi-finals of the Kuala Lumpur Open in 1993. Also that year, Malik and Francisco Montana, upset top seeds Jacco Eltingh and Paul Haarhuis at the 1993 Schenectady Open. In 1994, Malik teamed up with Jeff Tarango in the ATP St. Pölten event and the pair finished runners-up. He remained with Tarango for the 1995 Australian Open, the only Grand Slam tournament that the Malaysian played during his career. The pair lost in the opening round to Jon Ireland and Libor Pimek, losing 7-9 in the deciding set.
He had his best singles performance at the Kuala Lumpur Open in 1994, when he reached the quarter-finals.
