Mount Adams is a mountain in the West Coast region of New Zealand's South Island.^[1] The summit is roughly 19 km south of Harihari and reaches 2,208 metres (7,244 ft) in height.^[2]

Mount Adams lies to the west of the main divide of the Southern Alps and drains into the Whataroa and Poerua catchments. Both of these rivers flow westwards to the Tasman Sea. There are two small glaciers on the south-eastern slopes that drain the summit ice cap; the Escape Glacier (about 2.1 km in length) and the Siege Glacier (about 3.6 km).
