Adolf I of Berg, count of Berg from 1077 until 1082, Vogt of Werden, Deutz, Berg and Gerresheim (died 1086). He is the son of Adolf II of Lotharingia count of Keldachgau, Vogt of Deutz (1002–1041).

The dynasty can be traced back to Adolf I at the beginning of the eleventh century especially by following the succession of the advocates of Deutz monastery across the Rhine, opposite Cologne. From that point forth the succession of the counts of Berg is well enough documented.
