Adrian Harold "Sparky" Maurer (April 7, 1901 – May 4, 1943) was an American football player.
He played college football as a running back for the Oglethorpe Stormy Petrels football team of Oglethorpe University. He was inducted into the Oglethorpe University Athletic Hall of Fame in 1962.
Maurer was selected second-team All-Southern by Julian Leggett of the Macon News, and first team All-Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) by various writers including Morgan Blake.
He was captain of the 1924 team which won the SIAA championship.
The 1925 team was again SIAA champion.
He played professionally with the Newark Bears. The Bears are remembered for the team's financially weak ownership group, which led to the folding of the team mid-season. The team played only five games before folding in October.
