Adam Siddall (born July 27, 1988) is a New Zealand-born American former rugby union international.

Siddall, born in Auckland, New Zealand, was a U.S. citizen at birth due to American ancestry. He was educated at Auckland's King's College and obtained a law degree from the University of Auckland.{{cite news |last1=Willoughby |first1=Kyle |title=A Few Words With Adam Siddall From USA Eagles |url=https://lastwordonsports.com/2013/11/20/a-few-words-with-adam-siddall-from-usa-eagles/ |work=Last Word on Sports |date=November 20, 2013}}

After moving to New York to play for Old Blue RFC, Siddall was called up by the United States for the 2013 Pacific Nations Cup, making his Test debut as a fullback against Canada in Toronto. He switched to fly-half for the 2013 end-of-year internationals and in the match against Georgia kicked a last-minute penalty, from 40 metres out, to give the U.S. their first win of the year.{{cite news |last1=Pengelly |first1=Martin |title=Adam Siddall penalty gives US Eagles last-second victory in Georgia |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2013/nov/16/us-eagles-georgia-adam-siddall-penalty |work=The Guardian |date=November 16, 2013}} Concussion problems limited him to two capped matches in 2014, which included a Test against the All Blacks, before Siddall made the decision to step away from the game on doctors advice.{{cite news |last1=Pengelly |first1=Martin |title=USA v All Blacks: who are the US Eagles? |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/oct/31/usa-all-blacks-who-are-super-eagles |work=The Guardian |date=October 31, 2014}}{{cite web |title=Siddall Sitting Out 2015 |url=https://www.goffrugbyreport.com/news/siddall-sitting-out-2015 |website=Goff Rugby Report |language=en |date=February 12, 2015}}
