Andrew Cecil Bradley (1851 - 1935) was an English literary scholar.

He was educated at Cheltenham College.

He was Professor of Poetry at Oxford from 1901 to 1906; his Oxford Lectures on Poetry were published in 1909.

He published Shakespearean Tragedy in 1904. It was immediately hailed as a brilliant achievement. Though Bradley has sometimes been criticised for writing of Shakespeare's characters as though they were real people, his book is probably the most influential single work of Shakespearean criticism ever published. It has been reprinted more than two dozen times and is itself the subject of a scholarly book, Katherine Cooke's A. C. Bradley and His Influence in Twentieth-Century Shakespeare Criticism (Oxford: Clarendon, 1972). His other works were: Poetry for Poetry's Sake (1901), A Commentary on Tennyson's In Memoriam (1901), and A Miscellany (1929).
