Adam Broomberg (born November 11, 1970) is a South African photographer, educator, and activist based in Berlin, Germany. He is the co-founder and coordinator of the NGO Artists + Allies x Hebron alongside the Palestinian activist Issa Amro.

Eyal Weizman described his practice as “hacking into the source code of photography.” He is known for challenging existing power structures and using art as a means of fostering social change. He has had solo exhibitions at The Centre Georges Pompidou (2018) and the Hasselblad Center (2017), and participated in international group shows that include the Venice Biennale (2024), Yokohama Trienniale (2017), Documenta, Kassel (2017), The British Art Show 8 (2015-2017), Conflict, Time, Photography at Tate Modern (2015); Shanghai Biennale (2014); Museum of Modern Art, New York (2014); Tate Britain (2014), and the Gwanju Biennale (2012).
