Craig Braddy (born 12 April 1959) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy and the Sydney Swans in the Victorian Football League (VFL) during the 1980s.

Braddy could only manage four games in each of his two league seasons at Fitzroy, having come to the club from the Olympic Youth Club.^[1]

He was sold to Sydney and played in their first season after relocation from South Melbourne. Braddy and Gerard Neesham were the first new recruits to play for Sydney, making their debuts in round seven.^[2]

In 1983 he had his best season in the VFL, playing 21 games as a key forward.^[2] He kicked 48 goals to comfortably top the Swans goal-kicking and had a career best six goal haul in a game against Carlton on the Sydney Cricket Ground.^[2] The following season he played 18 games and equaled his goals record with another six goal effort against North Melbourne.^[2]

After his VFL career ended, Braddy played in South Australia with Central District. He is now involved in sports management and was the chief executive of the Eastern Football League from 2002 to 2005.

His younger brother, Shane Braddy, was briefly a player with the Melbourne Football Club.^[3]
