Brad Drew (born 25 August 1975) is an Australian professional rugby league player for Wakefield Trinity Wildcats. His position of choice is hooker. He is generally accepted as one of the best hookers in Super League.

Drew won the Giants Player of the Year award in 2006 after an outstanding season which left many pundits bemused as to why he wasn’t nominated for the Man of Steel award as Super League’s top player. He is in his third season with the Giants, and has only missed one game over the last two years. He is a key figure of the Giants attack with his creative play, and his deceptive pace and superb acceleration from dummy-half make him a danger to any team.

Drew Signed for Wakefield Trinity Wildcats in September 2007.

He is the fitness conditioner for Scotland in the 2008 Rugby League World Cup, having been a critical part of the coaching and management staff for a number of years.cite web|url=http://www.scotlandrl.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=60&Itemid=135|title=Management/Coaching Staff Profile|publisher=Scotland RL|date=2008-09-29|accessdate=2008-10-03]
