Adams and Woodbridge was an American architectural partnership operating in the mid-1900s, headquartered in New York City.

This practice was the successor to several earlier firms, including Evans, Moore & Woodbridge, Malmfeldt, Adams & Prentice, Adams & Prentice (which functioned from 1929 to 1941), and Malmfeldt, Adams & Woodbridge.
