We introduce a residual-based a posteriori error estimator for contact problems in two and three dimensional linear elasticity, discretized with linear and quadratic finite elements and Nitsche's method. Efficiency and reliability of the estimator are proved under a saturation assumption. Numerical experiments illustrate the theoretical properties and the good performance of the estimator.
