Edward Joseph Adams (born 24 August 1944) is an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church who has served as Apostolic Nuncio to Greece since 2011.

Archbishop Adams was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (USA), on 24 August 1944. After his elementary education in Catholic grammar schools, he attended St. Joseph’s Preparatory School, Villanova University, and Philadelphia’s St. Charles Theological Seminary. He was ordained a priest on 16 May 1970 by John Joseph Cardinal Krol, the Archbishop of Philadelphia.

After being assigned to advanced studies in Rome, he graduated, in 1976, from the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy. Since then, he served the Pope in Apostolic Nunciatures in various countries throughout the world.

Adams was designated Apostolic Nuncio to Bangladesh and Titular Archbishop of Scala on 24 August 1996, and was consecrated on 23 October of that year by Angelo Cardinal Sodano, the Papal Secretary of State. His principal co-consecrators were Anthony Joseph Cardinal Bevilacqua and John Patrick Cardinal Foley.
