Adam Bothwell, Lord of Session (c.1527, Edinburgh – 1593, Edinburgh), was Scottish clergyman, judge and politician. He served as Bishop of Orkney (1559), Commendator of Holyrood House (1570), Extraordinary Lord of Session (1563–4), Ordinary Lord of Session (1565) and Member of Privy Council.

Bothwell was a Commissioner to the marriage of Mary, Queen of Scots with Francis, the Dauphin of France. He later conducted the marriage of Mary to the Earl of Bothwell (1567), crowned the infant James VI (1567), and accompanied the Regent Moray to the Conference of York and Westminster in 1568.

Bothwell converted to Protestantism at the Reformation. He was briefly imprisoned at Stirling Castle in 1578.

He held charters of the baronies of Alhammer or Whitekirk (1587–8) and Brighouse, in the Sheriffdom of Linlithgow (1592).

He is interred at Holyrood Abbey.
