'''Theodoros Adam''' ([[Greek language|Greek]]: Θεόδωρος Αδάμ) was a [[Greeks|Greek]] chieftain of the [[Macedonian Struggle]].
== Biography == [[File:Theodoros Adam Georgios Kouris.jpg|left|thumb|300px|The Macedonian chieftains Theodoros Adam, Georgios Kouris and others from their group, 1908-1909.]] Adam was born in the late 19th century in [[Nižepole]], then part of the [[Ottoman Empire]] (now in [[North Macedonia]]). He organized the National Committee of his hometown, Nižepole very early (before 1903) and set up an armed group headed by himself. Its purpose was to face [[Bulgarians|Bulgarian]] armed action in the areas of [[Pelagonia]] and [[Florina (regional unit)|Florina]] until 1904, when officers arrived from free [[Kingdom of Greece|Greece]].
Later, his group cooperated in many operations with the [[Crete|Cretan]] officer [[Ioannis Karavitis]] until 1907. In 1908, his group, consisting mainly of Nižepole locals, under the general instructions of the Cretan [[Panagiotis Gerogiannis]], dealt with multiple [[Bulgarians|Bulgarian]] armed groups.
His actions continued until the [[First Balkan War]] in 1912 and after the [[Young Turk Revolution]], as Bulgarian armed groups continued to fight in the Pelagonia area.
