Graeme Mercer Adam (1839–1912) was a Canadian author, editor, and publisher. Born in Scotland, he moved to Toronto to run a bookstore. He shortly teamed with a partner to form Rollo & Adam, which ventured into publishing. Their first significant publication was entitled British American Magazine. The publication, though short-lived, was the first of a long series of important Canadian periodicals published by Adam.
