Adam Linsday Gordon is a 1948 Australian radio drama by John Thompson starring Peter Finch as Adam Lindsay Gordon. It was recorded before Finch left Australia for England.[4]

It aired again in 1949 as part of a series called Australian Gallery. The Adelaide News said "I missed the opening sequences, a matter for regret. I would like to hear the whole show again, which is more than I can say for most radio programs. I found what I did hear more than half outstanding listening."[5]

The play was also known as Gordon the Poet.[6]
