'''Robert Adams''' ([[1791]] - [[13 January|13]] or [[16 January]] [[1875]]) was an Irish [[surgeon]] who was educated at [[Trinity College, Dublin]] between [[1810]] and [[1814]], and who later became president of the [[Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland|Royal College of Surgeons]] and the Dublin Pathological Society, and, in [[1862]], both Surgeon in Ordinary to the [[Monarch|Queen]] in Ireland, and Regius Professor of Surgery at the [[University of Dublin]].
His work focussed on [[heart|cardiac]], [[lungs|respiratory]], [[vein|vascular]] and [[joint]] diseases, and emphasised [[postmortem]] examination. He published a number of important medical texts, including ''Diseases of the Heart'', but it was his work on [[gout]], from which he suffered himself, that made him famous.
[[Stokes-Adams disease]] is named after him.
