Mirza Ebrahim Adham (c. 1611–1650) was a poet in Safavid Iran and Mughal India.

He was the son of the poet Mir Razi Artimani and a Safavid princess. He was born in c. 1611 in the Artiman village. Literary and poetic traditions shaped his upbringing. Very little is known about his academic background, other than his time spent studying under Mir Damad. He then immigrated to India, where he became part of Shah Jahan's royal court due to the efforts of the noble Taqarrub Khan. Adham also married a member of the Mughal dynasty, but due to his behaviour, he was imprisoned and eventually died, possibly by execution, in Shahjahanabad in 1650.
