Giacomo Adolfi (1682-1741) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active in and around Bergamo.

He was born in Bergamo, the older brother of the painter Ciro Adolfi, and was initially taught by his father Benedetto Adolfi. He completed a number of fresco paintings in the chruches and public buildings of Bergamo, including a Crowning of the Virgin for the church of Monastery del Paradiso and an Adoration of the Magi for Sant' Alessandro della Croce.
