Levi Adams (December 30, 1762 – June 18, 1831) was an American farmer and politician. He served in the New York Senate from 1818 through 1822, representing Lewis County, and was a member of New York's Council of Appointment in 1820. As a young man during the American Revolutionary War, he served in the New York militia.[1][2]
