Adolf Brudes (born in Kotulin, October 15, 1899 - died in Bremen, November 5, 1986) was a Formula One driver from Germany. He participated in one World Championship Grand Prix, on August 3, 1952, but scored no championship points.

He was more successful driving sports cars. He finished third in the 1940 Mille Miglia in the BMW 328. After World War II he raced the cars of Veritas and Borgward.

Brudes began his racing career on motor cycles before turning to four wheels. Just before Italy entered the Second World War in 1940, he took third place in the Coppa Brescia in a BMW. After the cessation of hostilities he resumed his racing activities, occasionally taking the wheel of a Veritas, as in his appearance in the 1952 German GP, but mainly competing in a Borgward in events as diverse as the long-distance Buenos Aires 1000 Km, Le Mans 24 Hours and Carrera Panamericana and speed record attempts at AVUS.
