Nelly Adamson Landry (born December 28, 1916) was a female tennis player from France (became French citizen after marriage). She is best remembered as the 1948 women's singles champion at the French Championships.

On January 16, 1934, Adamson (not yet Landry) married American author and emigre Tod Robbins at the town hall in Villefranche on the French Riviera. Robbins was an expert amateur athlete. Together, he and Adamson became a formidable doubles team. Adamson was Robbins's fourth wife, and they remained married through World War II and Robbins's long imprisonment in a German concentration camp. After the war, Adamson stayed with Robbins until his death, remarrying afterward.^[1]
