Adolf Bötticher or Adolf Boetticher (12 December 1842 – 9 June 1901) was a German art historian and conservator.

Bötticher was born in Blumberg, Brandenburg, and studied at the Bauakademie in Berlin (1865–68). After performing excavatory work in Greece from 1875–77, he published a weekly newspaper for architects and engineers (Wochenblatt für Architekten und Ingenieure).

From 1891–98 he published the 8-volume Die Bau und Kunstdenkmäler der Provinz Ostpreussen (9th volume, 1899 by Walther von Schimmelfennig), documenting architectural and artistic landmarks of East Prussia. Other noted works by Bötticher include:
