Herbert Baxter Adams (April 16, 1850 – July 30, 1901) was an American educator and historian who brought German rigor to the study of history in America; a founding member of the American History Association; and one of the earliest educators using the seminar for teaching history.

With a fresh PhD from the University of Heidelberg in Germany, Johns Hopkins University brought Adams in as a teaching fellow in history during their inaugural year.
