The Bradford Alhambra is a theatre in Bradford, West Yorkshire. It was built, as a Music hall, in 1914 for theatre impresario Francis Laidler, and later owned by the Moss Empire group (Oswald Stoll and Edward Moss) and refurbished in 1986. It seats 1650.

Today, the Alhambra is regarded amongst the North's premier touring venues and hosts a wide range of stage shows from ballet and opera to variety and comedy, musicals, drama and, of course, the annual pantomime. Regular visits are made from prestigious companies such as Opera North, the Royal Shakespeare Company, Birmingham Royal Ballet, Northern Ballet Theatre and the Royal National Theatre to complement spectacular West End musicals such as "Grease", "Whistle Down the Wind" and "The Phantom of the Opera".
