Adamsdown is an electoral ward in the south of Cardiff, capital city of Wales. It covers the community of Adamsdown. It was originally one of the ten wards created in 1890 for elections to Cardiff County Borough Council. Since 1996 it has been a ward to the current Cardiff Council unitary authority.

Its longest south eastern border is defined by the mainline railway and its northern border by Newport Road (the A461). To the north are the Plasnewydd and Penylan wards, to the south is Butetown and to the southeast is Splott.[2] The ward encompasses Cardiff Prison and the Cardiff Royal Infirmary.
