Sergeant Cornelius Francis Adjetey (died 28 February 1948) was a Ghanaian ex-serviceman and veteran of World War II. He was one of the three veterans – the others being Corporal Patrick Attipoe and Private Odartey Lamptey – shot dead by Major Imray while on their way to present a petition to Sir Gerald Creasy, who was Governor of Gold Coast at the time. The death of these three ex-servicemen led to the 1948 Accra riots.
