Adam Kennedy (born 12 July 1992) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the Greater Western Sydney Giants in the Australian Football League (AFL).

He was recruited from the Western Jets in the TAC Cup prior to the 2011 AFL Draft as one of the new club's selections of players who had previously nominated for the draft.[1] Kennedy made his AFL debut in Round 1 of the 2012 AFL season against Sydney in the Giants first ever game. Adam was in the game when GWS NEAFL team won the Grand Final in 2016.

Kennedy has had a luckless AFL career with several injuries, dubbing him 'Crusket Man' named after the brand of soft biscuits. He underwent a knee reconstruction on his left knee in 2017 and required a shoulder reconstruction in 2021. On April 22, 2023, Kennedy was ruled out for the remainder of the 2023 season after rupturing the ACL in his right knee during the 21-point loss to the Brisbane Lions at Manuka Oval.
