Adács is a village in Heves County, Northern Hungary Region, Hungary.

Its name comes from the old Hungarian personal name Ada, with the -cs suffix. The personal name may have its root in the ad verb, meaning "give". It was recorded as Ada in 1292.[1]

The area was inhabited intermittently according to archaeological evidence as early as the Late Bronze Age.

Jews lived in Adács in the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1944, most of the village's Jews were murdered in the Holocaust.[2]
