Adriano R. Papa, Jr. (July 14, 1945 – October 27, 2005), better known as Jun Papa, was a Filipino basketball player. Papa was born in Manila, Philippines. He played for the Ysmael Steel Admirals and the Crispa-Floro Redmanizers in the Manila Industrial and Commercial Athletic Association. Papa also appeared at the Olympic Games as a member of the country's national basketball team.

In 1975, Papa joined the Mariwasa franchise in the PBA where he took the franchise to a finals appearance, losing to Crispa, in six games, during the 1977 All-Filipino Conference. Though on the losing side, he was included in that season's Mythical Five. In the six PBA seasons that he played (1975–80), he posted 17.5 ppg scoring average in his career.
