Adam Ramzanovich Kadyrov (Russian: Адам Рамзанович Кадыров; born 24 November 2007) is a Russian official and son of Ramzan Kadyrov who has served as the head of the Security Service of the President of the Chechen Republic since 5 November 2023.
Kadyrov became notable following a video published in November 2023 depicting him assaulting a prisoner accused of burning the Quran. The video sparked widespread condemnation, even from some pro-Kremlin hardliners. Nevertheless, his father publicly expressed pride in his son, praising Adam for embracing what he called "adult ideals of honour, dignity, and the defence of his religion". Following the beating, Kadyrov was given six medals by the Chechen government and promoted alongside several of his siblings by his father amid rumours of the elder Kadyrov's ill health, and that he was preparing a dynasty to succeed him.
