Walter Adams (bishop)

Walter Adams (died 1472) was a medieval English clergyman who served as Bishop of Connor.

Adams was likely a member of the Dominican Order. He was appointed Bishop of Connor, a diocese in present-day Northern Ireland, sometime before 27 April 1454, when he received papal confirmation of his appointment from Pope Nicholas V.

Very little is known of Adams' episcopate. He appears to have been involved in disputes concerning rights and tithes with various individuals, but details are scant. He held the bishopric until his death in 1472. His successor was John Fossade.
