Lee Adamson (born 27 June 1946) is a former Australian rules footballer who played in the VFL/AFL.

From Greensborough, Adamson came through the Magpies under 19's before getting into the senior side. He made his debut in 1966 as a slender defender. His main concern halfway through his career when he couldn't get a game due to successive injuries, but worked back and played in the 1970 Grand Final against premiers Carlton. Adamson was at the front of a racial abuse accusation when he was a victim of a striking charge from Carlton's Syd Jackson.

At the Tribunal hearing Jackson had allowed Carlton's advocate to imply provocation to explain a fight with Adamson. Twenty-two years later he explained that there had been no provocation; Carlton president George Harris had devised the defence to ensure that the talented Jackson was available to play in the grand final. ... Adamson is quoted as saying he blamed Harris who 'set it up and I have despised him ever since for what he did

After he retired in 1973, Adamson was a support coach at Victoria Park.
