Adam Gibson (born 30 October 1986) is an Australian professional basketball player for the Brisbane Bullets of the National Basketball League (NBL). He has twice played on NBL championship teams, in 2007 with the Brisbane Bullets, and in 2009 with the South Dragons. Gibson was a member of the Australian national team at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, helping the Boomers to a seventh-place finish with a 3–3 record.
Gibson attended the Australian Institute of Sport from 2004 to 2005 and made his debut with the Brisbane Bullets in September 2005, establishing himself as one of the best young Australian talents in the NBL. He appeared in 29 games as a rookie, averaging three points per game.
In his second season with the Bullets, Gibson helped the team win the 2006–07 NBL championship with a grand final defeat of the Melbourne Tigers. While Gibson averaged six points per game over the season, the grand final series saw an increase to 8.5 points. He stayed with the defending champions for the 2007–08 season, where their run was eventually halted in the semi-finals. Following the season, Gibson was released from his contract on 29 May 2008 at his own request, following which he was signed by the South Dragons.
Gibson quickly became the Dragons starting point guard. In his first season for the club, Gibson won his second NBL championship, again at the expense of the Melbourne Tigers. The 2008–09 season saw Gibson earn All-NBL Third Team honours and was named the NBL Best Defensive Player.
