Adoniram Judson Gordon (1836–1895) war ein US-amerikanischer Baptistenpastor, Autor und Liederdichter, der über 25 Jahre lang die Clarendon Street Baptist Church in Boston leitete. Er verband calvinistisch-baptistische Theologie mit der Erweckungs- und Heiligungsbewegung, gründete eine Ausbildungsstätte für Missionare und befürwortete die Fortdauer göttlicher Heilung sowie Frauen im geistlichen Dienst. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er vor allem durch seine Schriften über das Wirken des Heiligen Geistes, persönliche Nachfolge und städtische Fürsorgearbeit.
