Prince Adrian Vinzenz Eduard of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (born Coburg, 18 October 1955), a professional Afro-Cuban percussionist better known as Adrian Coburg is a scion of the Saxon House of Wettin, branch of the former Dukes of Albany and is related to the British royal family.

He married firstly morganatically in Bern, Switzerland civilly on 18 October and religiously on 20 October 1984, to Lea Rinderknecht, born in Zürich on 5 January 1960, daughter of Martin Rinderknecht and Elsbeth Ulrich. They have two sons, Simon (born Bern, 10 March 1985) and Daniel (born Bern, 26 January 1988), and divorced in 1993. He married morganatically in Bern, 11 July 1997 Gertrud Krieg, born in Olten, Solothurn, on 18 March 1958, without issue. He is in line to the British throne.

It is now considered that his first marriage was dynastic, as the marriage was recognised by Friedrich Josias, Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. The children from this marriage are registered with the surname Coburg, and they are entitled to the style and title HH Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Duke of Saxony.
