George Thomas Augustus Adkins (21 August 1910 – 24 May 1976) was a New Zealand rugby union player. A prop, Adkins represented South Canterbury at a provincial level, and was a member of the New Zealand national side, the All Blacks, from 1935 to 1936. He never played a full test but was part of the 1935–36 New Zealand rugby union tour of Britain, Ireland and Canada playing against local sides.[citation needed]

A draper before serving with the RNZAF in the Pacific during World War II, Adkins was subsequently a senior civil servant with the Department of Labour.

Adkins died in Timaru on 24 May 1976.[1]
