Joel Adams II (March 6, 1784 – May 1, 1859) was an American politician, lawyer, and planter.

He was son of Joel Adams, and was born in Richland District, South Carolina, March 6, 1784.

He graduated from Yale University in 1807. He studied law in the office of the late Judge Nott, in Columbia, South Carolina. Soon after his admission to the bar, he left the profession, and then devoted himself, with eminent success, to the pursuits of a planter in his native district. He was occasionally in public life, having been a member of the Legislature of South Carolina in 1812 and 1813, and again in 1832.

He died near Columbia, S C, May 1, 1859, aged 75.
