Adamstown is a suburb of Newcastle, New South
Wales, Australia, located 6 kilometres (4 mi) from
Newcastle's central business district. It is part of the
City of Newcastle local government area.

Adamstown has a railway station, opened in 1887
with the Newcastle–Gosford section of the Main
North line.
The now closed branch line to Belmont formerly
left the main line just south of Adamstown Station.
Adamstown also includes the beginning of the
Fernleigh Track, a multi-use rail trail near Belmont.
The project is a joint venture between Newcastle
City Council and Lake Macquarie City Council and
extends from Adamstown to Belmont over an
approximate distance of 15.5 km (10 mi).
