Adam James Eckersley (born 7 September 1985) is an English former professional footballer who played primarily as a full-back. He is the older brother of fellow professional footballer Richard Eckersley.
He started his career with Manchester United in 2004 but failed to break into the first team in his four years there and was loaned out to Royal Antwerp, Brøndby, Barnsley and Port Vale, before joining Port Vale permanently in 2008. Later that year, he transferred to Danish club AC Horsens. In 2010, he moved on to AGF Aarhus. He won the Danish 1st Division championship with both clubs, in 2009–10 and then in 2010–11.
In 2014, he moved to Hearts and helped the club to win the Scottish Championship in 2014–15. He spent a brief time at Hibernian in 2015 before joining the Canadian side FC Edmonton in January 2016. He returned to Scotland 12 months later to play for St Mirren, helping the club to the Scottish Championship title at the end of the 2017–18 season. After a spell on loan with Forfar Athletic, Eckersley joined Airdrieonians for a one-season stay in May 2019. He also played for England at U16, U17, and U18 level.
