Tomasz Adamek (born December 1, 1976 in Żywiec, Poland) is a professional boxer in the cruiserweight division. His record is 32-1 (22 KOs). He is the former WBC world light heavyweight champion and the current IBO cruiserweight champion.

Adamek won the vacant WBC light heavyweight title defeating Paul "Firepower" Briggs on May 21, 2005. He then defended his title in a rematch one year later, again winning by majority decision. Adamek then lost by unanimous decision to Chad Dawson on February 3, 2007. During that fight, Adamek was knocked down in the seventh round; this was only the second time in his career he has been knocked down.

After losing to Dawson, Adamek moved up to cruiserweight to beat Luis Andres Pineda by technical knockout in round 7 to become the IBO cruiserweight champion. He successfully defended his title against Josep Jalusic on December 29, 2007 in Germany.

On April 19, 2008 in Poland, Adamek fought former undisputed cruiserweight champion O'Neil Bell in an IBF cruiserweight title eliminator. Adamek floored Bell in round one and had good success by outboxing Bell. Bell opted not to come out for round eight, citing that he felt dizzy and ill.
