Edmund "Adam" Adamkiewicz (21 April 1920 – 4 April 1991) was a German footballer.

Born in Hamburg, Adamkiewicz's career began in Wilhelmsburg, where he played for Viktoria Wilhelmsburg, and led him to various clubs, his first spell with Hamburger SV starting in early 1940. Both of his international appearances were during World War II. On 22 November 1942, Adamkiewicz scored his only international goal.

After the war finished, Adamkiewicz played for Eintracht Frankfurt during the 1946–47 season and played 21 times. In 1947 he returned to Hamburg where he became top-scorer for two non-consecutive seasons, before moving on in 1951. He was with VfB Mühlburg/Karlsruher SC for a time before returning to Hamburg once again where he joined Harburger TB.

After the end of his active career, Adamkiewicz worked as a haulage contractor. He made headlines in the spring of 1956 when he was hit by a barrel while loading his vehicle and suffered a forearm fracture and bone splinters in his upper arm.
