Wilbur Louis Adams (October 23, 1884 – December 4, 1937) was an American lawyer and politician from Wilmington, in New Castle County, Delaware.

A thoughtful moderate Republican, Townsend had supported much of the New Deal legislation, and had demonstrated considerable effectiveness through his involvement in the establishment of such things as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Once again bucking national trends, Delaware had its own local Republican landslide in 1934, led by Townsend.

Adams came home and moved to Georgetown, Delaware, where he continued the practice of law.

He is buried in the Union Cemetery, located at South Race Street, Georgetown.
