Adam Carson (February 5, 1975 - ) is the drummer for the band AFI (A Fire Inside). Adam, along with frontman Davey Havok, are the only original members left in the current lineup.

Although Adam has been with AFI since day one, he has also filled in as a drummer for the band Tiger Army in 1996. Those Tiger Army songs featuring Adam as their drummer can be now found on Tiger Army's The Early Years EP. Nick 13 of Tiger Army once mentioned that Adam was a member of Influence 13 - a band formed by himself, Jade Puget (who will later join AFI in 1998), Geoff Kresge (who will later leave AFI in 1996 and Tiger Army in 2004), and two other friends. Nick also stated that "it was a weird lineup that never really took off".

Unlike few members of AFI, Adam does not follow the Straight Edge lifestyle. However, he is vegetarian.

Adam is mostly known in the AFI fan base for his versitile drumming and his obsession of pirates. He has been seen using a bass drum with the Jolly Roger printed on the front.
