Adam Snow is an American ten-goal polo player.

Adam Snow grew up in Hamilton, near Boston, Massachusetts. His father, Crocker Snow, Jr., played polo, as did his paternal grandfather. His father remarried a Swedish woman. They lived in Japan when he was a child. His godfather was Adam Winthrop, after whom the Adam Winthrop Polo Field in Aiken, South Carolina is named.

He spent his summers playing polo at the Myopia Polo Club in South Hamilton and the Saratoga Polo Club in Saratoga Springs, New York as a teenager. He also taught polo clinics at Myopia. He took a gap year to play hockey professionally in Sweden, followed by lacrosse in England. He graduated from Yale University, where he played varsity hockey and lacrosse, even beating the Harvard University team.

He started his polo career by working on Hector Barrantes's ranch in Argentina. He then played at the Greenwich Polo Club near Greenwich, Connecticut. Shortly after, he played for polo patron Brook Johnston on the "polo circuit" in England, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Argentina. He became a ten-goal polo player in 2002.

He won the Westchester Cup alongside John Gobin, Owen Rinehart and Robert E. Walton at the Guards Polo Club in 1992. A decade later, in 2002, he won the U.S. Open Polo Championship at the Royal Palm Polo Club in Boca Raton, Florida on the Coca-Cola Polo Team alongside Gillian Johnston, Miguel Novillo Astrada and Tommy Biddle. He has also won the Monty Waterbury Cup.
