Adam of Wągrowiec (also Adam from Wągrowiec) (Polish: Adam z Wągrowca) (died 27 August 1629) was a Polish composer and organist, as well as a Cistercian monk in the Wągrowiec cloister.
He was born in Margonin. He was famous during his life, and was invited to inspect a new organ in Gniezno cathedral on 17 March 1620.[citation needed] Over twenty of his compositions for organ were found in the Samogitian tablature (ca. 1618) in Lithuania. Adam was the first to use a separate third staff for the organ pedalboard notation.
All of Adam's pieces were recorded by Rostislaw Wygranienko in 2006.
