Adam Bielecki (born 1983) is a Polish alpine and high-altitude climber from Tychy, known for the first winter ascents of the eight-thousanders Gasherbrum I, with Janusz Gołąb in March 2012, and Broad Peak in March 2013. He studied psychology at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, climbs without bottled oxygen, and at 17 was the youngest person to climb Khan Tengri in alpine style. His other eight-thousanders include Makalu, K2 and Gasherbrum II. In January 2018 he and Denis Urubko climbed more than 1,000 metres through the night on Nanga Parbat to reach Élisabeth Revol, a rescue for which the team was awarded the Legion of Honour, and in 2023 he helped rescue Anurag Maloo from a crevasse on Annapurna I.
