Bradford Leigh is a hamlet in Wiltshire, England. It lies in the parish of South Wraxall, about 1.3miles northeast of the centre of the town of Bradford on Avon.

The area was formerly a tithing of the parish of Bradford on Avon.[1] A Methodist chapel was built in 1892, belonging to the Methodist church at Bradford on Avon; the chapel closed in the mid-20th century.[2]

The local pub, the Plough, closed in 2014 and was offered for sale in 2015.
