The Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK) (Arabic: دائرة التعليم والمعرفة), is the educational authority for the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, the largest emirate of the United Arab Emirates and the home of the country's capital city.

The department was initially established as an advisory council on education in 2005 by UAE president and ruler of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, with the aim of improving teaching standards in the emirate by increasing the quality of teaching, curriculum, and administration. The department is currently responsible for the management and administration of the emirate's public charter schools. Additionally, it issues licenses, monitors, and inspects the emirate's many different private schools and public universities.
