Nina Adams Harmer (born December 11, 1945) is an American former competition swimmer.

As a 14-year-old, Harmer represented the United States at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, Italy. She competed in the women's 100-meter backstroke, but did not advance beyond the preliminary heats.

Four years later at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, Harmer swam for the gold medal-winning U.S. team in the preliminary heats of the women's 4x100-meter medley relay, but did not receive a medal under the 1964 international swimming rules because she did not swim in the event final. Individually, she also competed in the women's 100-meter backstroke, finishing fifth in the event final with a time of 1:09.4, behind American teammates Cathy Ferguson (first) and Ginny Duenkel (third).[1]
