Graeme Bradley (born 20 March 1964) is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer. He played for the Illawarra Steelers, Penrith Panthers and the St. George Dragons in the New South Wales Rugby League premiership (NSWRL) as well as the Castleford Tigers and Bradford Bulls in England.

Bradley played junior football with Kyeemagh. Bradley entered first-grade after Illawarra Steelers' coach, Brian Smith, signed him to the club in 1985. Smith had been Bradley's school-teacher.cite book | author=Alan Whiticker & Glen Hudson |title=The Encyclopedia of Rugby League Players |year=2007

The Panthers reached back-to-back grand finals, in 1990 and 1991. Bradely was named on the bench for the 1991 grand final and although he spent 40 minutes warming up on the sidelines, coach Phil Gould did not send Bradley on.cite journal | author = Tony Adams | title = Legend Q&A | journal = Rugby League Week | issue =28 July 2004 |pages = pgs 22-23| publisher = PBLMedia | location = Sydney, NSW | accessdate =2008-09-12 ] Following this he followed former Steelers coach Brian Smith to the St George Dragons. Bradley played in two grand finals for St George in 1992 and 1993.
