Lee Adamson (born 27 June 1946) is a former Australian rules footballer who played in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]

From Greensborough, Adamson came through the Collingwood Football Club's under 19s 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.[1] 22 years later, Jackson admitted no racial abuse was committed.

After he retired in 1973, Adamson was a support coach at Victoria Park.[1]
