Patrick Bradley (born 23 May 1981) is an Irish sportsman, who plays Gaelic football for Derry. With the team he has won two National League titles, and individually an All Stars Award for his performance in the 2007 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship (and has been nominated a further four times).

Bradley plays his club football for John Mitchel's Glenullin and has won the Derry Senior Football Championship with the club.

He usually plays at full forward for both club and county. Bradley is regarded as one of the best forwards in Ireland, due to his accuracy in front of the posts with both left and right feet - from both open play and frees. He has consistently been a high scorer for Derry, with a career high of 2-38 (44 points) during the 2004 All-Ireland Championship. He is third all-time top Ulster scorer in Championship football with a tally of 13-177 (216 points).

Bradley is from the rural area known as Kilrea in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland. He went to secondary school at St Patrick's College in Maghera. Later he attended the University of Ulster Jordanstown.

Bradley is from a football background. His brother Eoin and cousin Gerard O'Kane both also play for Derry. His father Liam is current manager of Antrim. Paddy's uncle Gabriel Bradley was part of the Derry team that won back-to-back Ulster Championships in 1975 and 1976.
