Robert Mara Adger Jr. (c. 1837 - June 10, 1910) was a businessman and bibliophile in Philadelphia. His family owned a collectibles shop and lived adjacent. He became a member of the Banneker Institute at the age of 17 and became its president in his mid twenties. He amassed an important collection of books and periodicals by and about African Americans and donated it for posterity. The "Catalogue of rare books on slavery and negro authors on science, history, poetry, religion, biography, etc." was printed from the holdings in his private collection. In 1981, Rare Afro-Americana: A Reconstruction of the Adger Library was published.
