The Adam Smith Institute is a London-based think tank that conducts research, publishing, media outreach, and education to advance free-market economic policy. It describes itself as independent, non-profit, and non-partisan, aiming to influence policymakers and public debate in the United Kingdom. Founded in the 1970s, the institute has historically advocated privatization, deregulation, and tax reform, and it continues to promote market-based approaches to poverty and social policy.

It is recognized as one of the world's leading think tanks in economic policy, and is ranked first among independent think tanks by the University of Pennsylvania. The organization works with policymakers and other partners to bring practical free-market ideas into public discourse, and recent collaborations include a 2024 partnership with Legatum Institute to host a London event. Based in London, England, it operates as a small-to-mid-sized non-profit organization.
