Wilbur Louis Adams (born October 23, 1884) was an American politician who represented the state of Delaware in the United States House of Representatives. A member of the Democratic Party, he served as the at-large Representative for Delaware during the 73rd Congress. His term in office began on March 9, 1933, and concluded on January 3, 1935, encompassing a single term in the House.

Adams’s service in Congress placed him among the historical members of that body during a period of significant national change in the early 1930s. As a Democratic at-large Representative from Delaware, he participated in the federal legislative process on behalf of the entire state rather than a single geographic district. After his term ended in 1935, he did not return to Congress and is recorded as a former member.
