David Malcolm "Dave" Adams (1938 – 19 March 2016) was a British singer, keyboard player and songwriter.
Born in Jersey, he began working with Joe Meek in 1958 and continued to work with him until Meek's death in 1967. In the early 1960s, he helped build up Meek's studio. He recorded singles with him under various pseudonyms and wrote songs for him. He was part of the production of Telstar; a "second stage demo" of him playing the tune exists. He was also a member of Heinz Burt's backing band The Wild Boys along with Ritchie Blackmore.
He later lived in Buffalo, New York. His daughter, Dee Adams writes and performs music as a solo artist, with a country-rock band called Dee and the Housecats, and with a jazz band called The Funny Valentines.
