Austin Kirk Jenkins (born July 5, 1989), known by the ring name Adam Cole, is an American professional wrestler currently signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he leads the Undisputed Kingdom stable. He is also known for his tenures with WWE and Ring of Honor (ROH).

Cole began his eight-year tenure with ROH in 2009 and went on to become the first-ever three-time ROH World Champion. In addition, he is a one-time ROH World Television Champion, and the winner of the 2014 ROH Survival of the Fittest tournament. Cole has also wrestled for several independent promotions, including Chikara, Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW), where he is a former CZW World Junior Heavyweight Champion, and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG), where he is a former PWG World Champion; he holds the records for longest reigns for both titles.
