The Adams Academy is a former boys' school in Quincy, Massachusetts, built in 1872 in the Victorian style to designs by Henry Van Brunt and constructed of dimension stone. Founded under a trust established by President John Adams, it operated as a college preparatory school until closing in 1908. Its landmark building is now leased to the Quincy Historical Society, and the site is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a National Historic Landmark.
