Abdul-Nasir Oluwatosin Oluwadoyinsolami Adarabioyo (born 24 September 1997), sometimes known mononymously as Tosin, is an English professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Premier League club Chelsea.

Adarabioyo started his professional career with Manchester City making his senior debut in 2016 after progressing through the club's youth ranks. He later became the then-youngest-ever player to start a UEFA Champions League match for the club and ultimately made eight appearances across all competitions before loan spells at West Bromwich Albion and Blackburn Rovers. He joined Fulham on a permanent deal in July 2020.

Adarabioyo is a former England youth international and represented the country on 14 occasions between the under-16 and under-19 levels, although he is yet to make his senior debut for England. He also remains eligible to represent Nigeria through descent.
