Adolfas Sruoga (19 April 1889 – 1941) was the director of Lithuanian postal services in interwar Lithuania. He was the brother of writer Balys Sruoga.

Educated as an electrical engineer at the Charlottenburg Polytechnic School, Sruoga worked in various electric engineering-related posts in the Russian Empire until moving to Lithuania in 1918 to work at the Lithuanian postal service. He was its director from 1927 until 1933 when he was accused of tampering with litas money stamps, accumulating enormous personal wealth. Found guilty of financial manipulation, Sruoga was sentenced to fifteen years of hard labor in 1935, eventually dying in 1941 as a deportee in the Intalag forced labor camp of the Soviet Union.
