Robert Melvin Adams (born January 6, 1952) is a former professional baseball first baseman and catcher.

He played 15 games in Major League Baseball for the Detroit Tigers in 1977, mostly as a pinch hitter.

In just 24 major league at bats, Adams hit two home runs, both solo.

Prior to the 1977 season his manager, Ralph Houk, said that he "played no position well" but "might be of help".
