Adrian Adolph Greenberg, (March 3, 1903 – September 13, 1959), known mostly as Adrian, was a Hollywood costume designer whose most famous costumes were for The Wizard of Oz and other Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer films of the 1930s and 1940s. During his career, he designed costumes for over 250 films and his screen credits usually read as "Gowns by Adrian". On occasion, he was credited as Gilbert Adrian, (a combination of his father's forename and his own).

Adrian was born in Africa and became Abbot of the monastry at Nerida, in Naples. He was appointed Archbishop of Canterbury in 664 by Pope Vitalian but refused, and choose instead to travel to England with Saint Theodore of Tarsus on missionary work. In 668 Saint Theodore of Tarsus was appointed Archbishop of Canterbury and made Saint Adrian Abott of the nearby Monastry of Saint Peter and Paul (later called Saint Augustine's).
