Benjamin David Bradley (born 11 December 1989) is a British Conservative Party politician who formerly served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Mansfield, Nottinghamshire from 2017 to 2024.

Bradley had been referred to as "three jobs", concerning his additional responsibilities as Leader of Nottinghamshire County Council and County Councillor for Mansfield North division, and prior to standing as East Midlands Mayor.

On 8 January 2018, during Prime Minister Theresa May's Cabinet reshuffle, Bradley was appointed as Vice Chairman of the Conservative Party for Youth.[1] He resigned his role on 10 July 2018 in protest against May's strategy in relation to Brexit.[2] He is also the chairman of Blue Collar Conservatives.[3]

Bradley was a councillor on Ashfield District Council from May 2015 to September 2017. He has served on Nottinghamshire County Council since May 2017. After being elected to the House of Commons in June 2017, Bradley chose to resign from Ashfield Council whilst remaining as a Nottinghamshire county councillor. In May 2021, Bradley became Leader of the Council.[4]
