Bryan Adams (n. el 5 de Noviembre de 1959 en Kingston, Ontario, Canadá) es un cantante, cantautor, músico y fotógrafo canadiense. Entre sus estilos musicales figura el rock.
Su padre fue diplomatico, por lo que creció viajando por el mundo, especialmente en Europa. Su familia regresó a Canadá en 1973, y en la escuela secundaria estaba tan ocupado en la música que no le prestaba atención a las chicas (según entrevista de Carlo D'Agostino de Rolling Stone magazine).
