Adam Keller (born 1955 in Tel Aviv-Yafo) is an Israeli conscientious objector, peace activist and writer.

Since 1987, he has lived in Holon. He is married and has one son. He studied History in Tel Aviv University.

A long-standing supporter of Yesh Gvul, Keller has served several prison terms for refusing reserve military duty with the Israeli Defense Forces in what he describes as the 1967-occupied territories. In 1986, he was one of several activists who broke Israeli law by meeting PLO representatives in Romania. Later, in 1988, during the first Intifada, Keller was court-marshaled after spraying graffiti on 117 Israeli tanks and other military vehicles, exhorting "Soldiers refuse to be occupiers and aggressors. Don't go to the occupied territories".

He is among the founders and a spokesperson of Gush Shalom, an Israel-based peace activism organization. He has been active in joint Israeli-Palestinian protests against the apartheid wall.
