Thomas Miles Adams (2 May 1808 – 20 January 1894) was an English cricketer in the mid-19th century. He was a member of the great Kent county cricket teams of the 1840s and played for both MCC and the All-England Eleven. He was a right-handed batsman who bowled medium pace roundarm style.

Adams was born in Gravesend in Kent. He made his debut in the 1836 season and is known to have made 157 appearances in matches which were later given first-class cricket status from 1836 to 1858. He played for Kent both before the first official county club was formed in 1842 and afterwards for Kent County Cricket Club. He stood as umpire in 20 top-class matches from 1852 to 1865.
