Stefan Bradl (born November 29, 1989 in Zahling, Germany) is a Grand Prix motorcycle racer who currently is a rider in the 125cc Class.

He started his 125cc World Championship career in 2005 as a wild card for three races, competing in the 125cc German Championship with KTM. He took another three wild card races in 2006, still with KTM. He had a terrible fracture when he was hit by another rider during practice for the 2006 Malaysian GP. Later that year he was competing again at the Red Bull MotoGP Academy.

Bradl was offered by Alberto Puig to ride his Repsol Honda factory team for 2007; he withdrew after a couple of tests due to personal problems, but didn't stop racing. Later, he joined the 125cc Spanish Championship with Blusens Aprilia. He won the title just five points ahead of his team mate Scott Redding. Later he took a couple of wild card races with the same team. Later from 2007 Portuguese GP onwards. Blusens Aprilia Team principal Raul Romero placed him in a second bike with veteran Pablo Nieto, replacing Dutchman Hugo Van Den Berg.

For 2008, rather than stay with Blusens Aprilia, he decided to ride for the German Grizzly Gas Kiefer Racing, on an official factory Aprilia RSA 125.
