Obadiah Nelson "Obie" Trotter (born February 9, 1984) is an American-Hungarian professional basketball player. He is currently playing for Pierniki Toruń of the Polish Basketball League. He is 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m), and plays the point guard position. He received Hungarian citizenship in June 20, 2011, and played for Hungary in the unsuccessful Eurobasket 2011 qualification campaign, averaging 11 points and four rebounds per match.
A native of Robertsdale in Baldwin County, Alabama, Trotter had received interest from more established, higher tier mid-major NCAA Division I basketball programs in high school, but he ended up playing at Alabama A&M because his mother wanted him coached by a "godly man." She felt that head coach L. Vann Pettaway fit the bill, and so Trotter became an Alabama A&M Bulldog.
Trotter's collegiate career spanned from 2002–03 to 2005–06. He played in 114 career games and led the team in scoring in each of his final three seasons. Trotter averaged 18.1, 15.3 and 19.2 points per game, respectively, during that stretch. By the time he graduated he had become the most decorated men's basketball player in school history: three-time First Team All-Conference, two-time All-America, two-time conference defensive player of the year, one-time Southwestern Athletic Conference Player of the Year, one-time SWAC Tournament MVP, a winner of both the regular season and conference championships in 2004–05, a one-time NCAA Division I season steals leader, and at the time of his graduation, the holder of the eighth highest career steals total (346) in college basketball history. Upon the conclusion of the 2009–10 season he was named the "SWAC Player of the Decade" for the years spanning between 2000 and 2010, according to Rivals.com.
