Athens Digital Arts Festival (ADAF) (Greek: Διεθνές Φεστιβάλ Ψηφιακών Τεχνών της Ελλάδας) is an international festival that takes place every May in Athens, Greece.

The festival was established in 2005 under the title Athens Video Art Festival as an initiation of the non-profit organization Multitrab Productions to create a platform for video art, installations and live performances. Since then, it has added interactive installations, web art, workshops, animation and digital images. In January 2015, the festival changed its name into Athens Digital Arts Festival.

Within the following 10 years, the Festival gradually evolved and included more art forms, such as web art, interactive installations, animation, digital image, applications and workshops, and exploring creative aspects of technology and digital culture. In 2012, the Festival introduced the subtitle "International Festival of Digital Arts & New Media" and from January 2015 was renamed Athens Digital Arts Festival.
