Daniel Mark Bradshaw (born 21 November 1978) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for the Brisbane Bears, Brisbane Lions and the Sydney Swans in the Australian Football League.
Bradshaw is best known as a dual premiership forward at the Brisbane Lions.
Bradshaw was drafted by the Brisbane Bears in the 1995 National Draft, from Wodonga, at pick 56 in the fourth round. His athleticism and marking was highlighted by recruiters, with the Bears expecting him to become a key-position prospect. Bradshaw made his debut in his first season at the club, in round 18 against Richmond at Optus Oval. He played the next two games off the bench, aged 17, at the same ground.
In his second year of football, 1997, Bradshaw played seniors for the first time in Round 8 at Subiaco against Fremantle, and dominated kicking four goals, and earning the AFL Rising Star nomination, in his fourth Australian Football League (AFL) match. A week later he booted six goals against Geelong at the Gabba, his first game at home. He played every game for the season since his addition, being a regular goalkicker. He kicked another bag of seven goals against Hawthorn in Round 18 at the Gabba, and four other games of three goals including the Qualifying Final against St Kilda. He finished equal fourth in the Rising Star, and kicked 35 goals for the season in 16 games.
