Adolf Brudes von Breslau (15 October 1899 – 5 November 1986) was a Formula One driver from Germany and a member of German nobility.

As an owner of a BMW and Auto Union dealership in Breslau, he had the opportunities to go racing, which he did from 1928 onwards, initially in hillclimbs.

His family were forced to move to Sedlitz, a small town in east of Germany where his brothers lived.

He found work at the BMW dealer in Halensee, when he was introduced to an American officer who was interested in racing, Alexander Orley.

It was in this car, he took part in his only World Championship Grand Prix, 1952 Großer Preis von Deutschland.

[5][11] A few years earlier, he received an invitation from August Momberger to drive the new Borgward sports cars, in a number of record attempts.

In October 1953, in a very streamlined 1500cc sports car with lightweight twin tube chassis, he set a number of speed and endurance records at L'autodrome de Linas-Monthlhéry.

[12] He would continue to race until 1968, when he made his last competitive appearance on the Taunus Hillclimb, where in an Alfa Romeo Giulia, he finished third in class.
