Daniel Mark Bradshaw (born November 21, 1978) is an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.
Recruited in the 1995 AFL Draft by the Brisbane Bears, Bradshaw played only 3 games in his debut season, but when the club merged with Fitzroy to become the Brisbane Lions, Bradshaw shone in 1997 when he finished 5th in the AFL Rising Star award.
He struggled with consistency over the coming seasons, but at the turn of the millennium Bradshaw improved his game. He played as a key position player, both in defence and up forward. In 2005, he led the Lions' goalkicking, in a year where they missed Jonathan Brown through suspension and Alistair Lynch through retirement.
Bradshaw holds the Brisbane Lions club record for most goals kicked in a match (9 goals vs Melbourne Demons - Round 14, 2005).
Bradshaw finished 2006 with a total of 59 goals, making him the back-to-back leading goalkicker at the Brisbane Lions.
It was speculated by some at the end of the 2006 season that Bradshaw wished to return to Victoria, but despite reported interest from several Victorian clubs including the Geelong Cats, Bradshaw signed a new contract in October which will see him continue his career with Brisbane for a further three seasons.
Bradshaw will be inactive in 2007 due to a partially torn ACL in one of his knees joining a dosen other players on other teams such as Trent Hentschel of Adelaide.
