Adamov (Czech pronunciation: [ˈadamof]; German: Adamsthal) is a town in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic, near Brno and Blansko.

In St. Barbara Church, a wooden Gothic altarpiece is found called the Zwettl Altar (Světelský oltář), which embodies a preserved part of the original sculpture carved for the Zwettl Abbey in the early 16th century.
