Adam Otterburn of Auldhame and Reidhall (died 6 July 1548) was a Scottish lawyer and diplomat. He was king's advocate to James V of Scotland and secretary to Mary of Guise and Regent Arran.

Otterburn was one of the original Senators of the College of Justice.[20] He married firstly, Janet Rhynd, and secondly, Euphame Mowbray, with whom he had three sons, John, Robert and Thomas. He had three daughters, Margaret, Janet, and another whose name is unknown.[21] His eldest daughter Margaret married Sir John Wemyss of Wemyss. In February 1544 another daughter was married and Adam asked Mary of Guise for financial support as 'sik materis requiris coist and expensis', and again in 1546 he mentioned to David Beaton his difficulty in paying 'my dochteris tocher.'[22] His son John married Janet Stewart, sister of the Earl of Atholl.
