Adderley Park is an area in the east of Birmingham, England. Charles Adderley MP donated 10 acres (4.0 ha) of land to create the park,[1] which he managed privately from 1855 to 1864. The park was opened to the public on 30 August 1856.[2] At the park's entrance were buildings housing a library, reading room and museum.[3] The buildings have since been demolished.

The area is served by Adderley Park railway station.
