Adolf Gustinius Nilsen (født 3. marts 1895, død oktober 1983) var en norsk roer fra Stavanger.
Nilsen vandt en bronzemedalje ved OL 1920 i Antwerpen. Han var med i den norske otter, der desuden bestod af Karl Nag, Tollef Tollefsen, Håkon Ellingsen, Thore Michelsen, Arne Mortensen, Theodor Nag, Conrad Olsen og styrmand Thoralf Hagen. Nordmændene vandt først deres indledende heat mod Tjekkoslovakiet med over ti sekunder, men tabte derpå semifinalen til Storbritannien næsten lige så klart. De fik efterfølgende bronze, da de havde en bedre tid end Frankrig, der tabte den anden semifinale.[1]
Nilsen var, ligesom de øvrige roere i den norske 1920-otter, medlem af Stavanger Roklub i hjembyen Stavanger.

Norge-Unionsflagg-1844.svg
Flag of Norway In 1844 a union badge combining Norwegian and Swedish colors was placed at the hoist of both countries' flags. The badge was popularly called Sildesalaten ("the herring salad") from its resemblance to a herring salad. Initially, the union flag was popular in Norway, since it clearly denoted the equal status of the two united states. But as the union with Sweden became increasingly less popular, the Norwegian parliament abolished the union badge from the national (merchant) and state flags in 1899. At the dissolution of the union in 1905, the badge was removed from the navy flag as well. Sweden kept it in all flags until 1905.
