Adam Tann (born May 12, 1982 in Fakenham) is an English footballer. He is a defender, and plays for Notts County.

Tann started his career with Cambridge United, after being awarded a professional contract at the beginning of the 1999-00 season. He made his debut in the Football League Trophy defeat to Barnet, and remained in the reserve team until the first-half of the 2001-02 season, when he appeared for the Cambridge side which finished bottom of the Division Three, and winless at home.

Tann was to move to the Lilywhites of Cambridge City on loan, but otherwise stayed with United until 2005. He then signed for Gravesend, making one emergency appearance before moving back to the Football League with Notts County.

In January 2006, he signed for Leyton Orient. Tann was diagnosed with testicular cancer in the autumn of 2006, but following a successful operation, he returned in the latter stages of the 2006-07 season. He scored an important goal in the club's history in a 2-0 away win against Bradford City to almost keep Orient safe of a place in League One for the 2007-08 season. Orient survived the next week against Nottingham Forest as results went their way.

In May 2007 he rejected a new contract at Orient to re-join former club Notts County. [cite news

As of 31st January 2008, Jarvis has joined Tann on loan at Notts County until the end of the season.
