Dona Ann McAdams (b. 1954) is an American photographer.

McAdams is known mostly for her photography of live dance and performance, for which she has received Obie and Bessie Awards, yet her portfolios, documentary in nature, range widely and include eclectic subjects: thoroughbred horse racing, Appalachia farmers, a community of schizophrenics living on Coney Island. Some of her most memorable images are photographs from the street, where she uses the same techniques she does in live performance to create a kind of performance of everyday life. Her work has been compared to Henri Cartier-Bresson, Dorothea Lange, and Tina Modotti.
