Charles Kendall Adams (1835 – 1902) was a American educator. He served as the second president of Cornell University from 1885 until 1892, and president of the University of Wisconsin from 1892 until his death.
Born in Derby, Vermont, Adams studied with Andrew Dickson White, Cornell's 1st President, at the University of Michigan. Adams then taught history at Michigan until his appointment as President of Cornell. He was forced to resign at Cornell due to conflicts with the faculty over honorary degrees and control of faculty appointments.
