Adam Samuel Bennion (December 2, 1886–February 11, 1958), was a leader in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Born in Taylorsville, Utah Territory, Bennion received degrees from the University of Utah, Columbia University and the University of California. He also studied at the University of Chicago. He became a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles on April 9, 1953 to replace the vacancy caused by John A. Widtsoe's death.

Bennion died in 1958 at Salt Lake City, Utah. He served less than five years in the quorum. Upon his passing, Hugh B. Brown was called to the quorum.
