Frank Adams (1871–1944) was a British illustrator and landscape artist.
By the 1900s, Adams was an established picture book illustrator, his style influenced by members of the London Sketch Club, especially Cecil Aldin and John Hassall. He worked frequently with Blackie & Son Ltd. He exhibited watercolours and drawings at Walker's Gallery, London, 1923–1935.
During World War I, Adams was one of the British artists who volunteered to look after wounded French soldiers at the Hôpital Temporaire d'Arc-en-Barrois.
