'''Adam Buddle''' (1662 – 15 April 1715) was an English [clergyman](/source/clergyman) and [botanist](/source/botanist). 
Born at [Deeping St James](/source/Deeping_St_James), a village near [Peterborough](/source/Peterborough), Buddle was educated at [Woodbridge School](/source/Woodbridge_School) and [St Catharine's College, Cambridge](/source/St_Catharine's_College%2C_Cambridge),<ref name="acad">{{acad|id=BDL678A|name=Buddle, Adam}}</ref> where he gained a [BA](/source/Bachelor_of_Arts) in 1681, and a [MA](/source/Master_of_Arts_(Oxbridge_and_Dublin)) four years later. He was a Fellow from 1686 until 1691 when he was ejected as a [non-juror](/source/Nonjuring_schism) but he later conformed.<ref name="acad"/> 

Buddle was ordained as a deacon in 1685 and priest of the [Church of England](/source/Church_of_England) in December 1702,<ref>{{CCEd|ref=|name=Buddle, Adam (1685 - 1702)|id=5054}}</ref> obtaining a living at [North Fambridge](/source/North_Fambridge), near [Maldon, Essex](/source/Maldon%2C_Essex), in 1703. He was also a [reader](/source/Reader_(Inns_of_Court)) at [Gray's Inn](/source/Gray's_Inn) under the patronage of [Robert Moss](/source/Robert_Moss_(priest)).<ref name=ODNB>{{cite ODNB|doi=10.1093/ref:odnb/3883|title=Buddle, Adam}}</ref> His life between graduation and [ordination](/source/ordination) remains obscure, although it is known he lived in or around [Hadleigh, Suffolk](/source/Hadleigh%2C_Suffolk), that he established a reputation as an authority on [bryophytes](/source/bryophytes), and that he married Elizabeth Eveare in 1695, with whom he had several children.<ref name=ODNB /> Buddle compiled a new ''English Flora'', completed in 1708, but it was never published; the original manuscript and Buddle's herbarium were preserved as part of the [Sloane](/source/Hans_Sloane) collection at the [Natural History Museum](/source/Natural_History_Museum%2C_London), London.<ref>{{cite journal|title=On the English Mints|journal=Journal of Botany, British and Foreign|volume=3|date=1865|page=254}}</ref>

Buddle died at Gray's Inn in 1715 and was buried at the church of [St Andrew, Holborn](/source/St_Andrew%2C_Holborn).<ref name=ODNB />

It is popularly believed that Buddle was posthumously commemorated by [Linnaeus](/source/Carl_Linnaeus), who named the genus ''[Buddleja](/source/Buddleja)'' in his honour,<ref>{{cite news|title= Urban Perennial|newspaper= [The Big Issue](/source/The_Big_Issue)|page= 39|last= Dark|first= Ben|date= 4 April 2022}}</ref> but this is not certain.<ref name=ODNB />
