Corey Adamson (born 23 February 1992) is an Australian sportsman who has played both professional baseball and professional Australian rules football.

Previously a professional baseball outfielder who played for the Australian national baseball team and in the San Diego Padres minor league system, he retired from baseball in 2014 to pursue an Australian rules football career, signing with the West Coast Eagles in the Australian Football League (AFL). Adamson had previously played underage representative football for Western Australia, being named in the under-15 All-Australian team, before deciding to pursue a career in baseball. He was signed to West Coast's rookie list under the three-year non-registered rule, which allows clubs to recruit players who have not been registered with an AFL-affiliated competition for more than three years. Adamson began the 2015 season in the WAFL reserves, playing for West Coast's affiliate, {{WAFL|EP}}. He made his senior debut in round 13, kicking a goal in his first match, and remained in the senior team for the rest of the season.[http://www.wafl.com.au/players/view/5986 Corey ADAMSON (East Perth)] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190326214855/http://www.wafl.com.au/players/view/5986 |date=26 March 2019 }} – WAFL.
