Bradley James Orr (born 1 November 1982) is an English retired footballer. He is the uncle of the Liverpool F.C. full back Jon Flanagan.
Born in Liverpool, Merseyside, Orr started his senior career with Newcastle United, and was loaned out to Burnley due to lack of opportunities in the first team side.
Shortly after this loan period in July 2004, he signed for Bristol City. He scored his first goal for his new team against Yeovil Town.
Although he was signed as a central midfielder he was converted to right-back in 2005–06 and has played most of his games in that position.
On 29 August 2006, Orr was sent off for attempting to head-butt his own teammate, Louis Carey, during a game against Northampton Town. On 1 September 2006, Orr was sentenced to 28 days in jail relating to an incident outside the popular Bristol nightclub 'Romeo Browns' the previous October. Also jailed in relation to the same incident were teammates Steve Brooker for 28 days, and David Partridge for two months. Orr and Brooker were released on 14 September 2006, serving only half of their original sentence. He scored against Manchester City in the League Cup second round.
He was named in the PFA's Championship team of the season 2007–08.
According to media sources, he broke his cheekbone in the play-off final against Hull City.
On 27 November 2008, Bristol City decided to place Orr on the transfer list, due to rejecting several contract offers. On 1 January 2009, Bristol City announced that Orr had signed a two-and-a-half-year contract at the club.
On 26 July 2010, Orr signed for Queens Park Rangers. He scored his first goal for the club in a 2–0 win over Scunthorpe United on 21 August 2010. He became a regular in Rangers Championship winning season with a number of impressive performances at right back helping Rangers to a high number of clean sheets. Once promoted to the Premier League his first team opportunities at Loftus Road became increasingly limited following the signing of former England right back Luke Young.
