Adam Saad (born 23 July 1994) is an Australian rules footballer playing for the Essendon Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL). He previously played for the Gold Coast Football Club from 2015 to 2017. Saad made his debut for the Suns in round 1 of the 2015 season and kicked one goal.
