Oliver Perry Adair (1899 – May 30, 1953) was an American amateur golfer from Atlanta, Georgia, who grew up playing golf at East Lake Golf Club with his friend Bobby Jones. He was a very accomplished player, having won the 1921 and 1923 Southern Amateur and 1922 Georgia Amateur championships.
Along with Jones and Alexa Stirling, he toured the country during World War I to raise funds for the Red Cross to assist in the war effort. Adair also played often with James Edgar and Willie Ogg in matches held at Druid Hills Golf Club and elsewhere in the Atlanta area.
