Adam Loftus, 1st Viscount Loftus (c. 1568–1643) was Lord Chancellor of Ireland from 1619 and from 1622 raised to the peerage of Ireland as Viscount Loftus of Ely, King's County. His uncle, another Adam Loftus, was both Lord Chancellor of Ireland and Church of Ireland primate.

Loftus clashed with the Lord Deputy of Ireland, Viscount Falkland, in 1624; and in the late 1630s his quarrel with Falkland's successor Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford was even fiercer. One of the principal articles of Strafford's impeachment in 1641, which led to his attainder and execution for treason, was based on his alleged mistreatment of Loftus.
