    Charles Francis Adams Sr. (August 18, 1807 – November 21, 1886) was an American historical editor, writer, politician, and diplomat. He was a son of President John Quincy Adams, and grandson of President John Adams, about whom he wrote a major biography. He had two daughters and five sons, including John Quincy Adams II, Charles Francis Adams Jr., Henry Adams, and Brooks Adams.

    Adams served two terms in the Massachusetts State Senate before running unsuccessfully as vice-presidential candidate for the Free Soil Party in the election of 1848 on a ticket with former president Martin Van Buren. During the Civil War, Adams served as the United States Minister to the United Kingdom under Abraham Lincoln, where he played a key role in keeping the British government neutral and not diplomatically recognizing the Confederacy.

    Adams became an overseer of Harvard University and built the stone library which is now at Adams National Historical Park, in Quincy, Massachusetts honoring his father.
