Adam Blair is an 1822 novel by the Scottish writer John Gibson Lockhart. Lockhart, the son-in-law and biographer of Walter Scott, produced four novels in the early 1820s. In this a Church of Scotland minister is accused of adultery. Lockhart's biographer Andrew Lang praised the novel, comparing its theme to the later 1850 novel The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, as did Henry James.
