Brad Murphey (born December 27, 1955, in Tucson, Arizona), is a former American racecar driver in the Indy Racing League.
His last IRL race was the inaugural 500K at Las Vegas Motor Speedway where his right leg/pelvis was broken while involved in an accident with Eddie Cheever and Stephane Gregoire on lap 29.
In 1984 he attempted to qualify for the CART races at Mid Ohio and Las Vegas, but failed to do so.
Despite many websites stating that he is Australian, Murphey was born and raised in Arizona and has in fact never been to Australia.
He believes the misconception was because most of his race crew during his entire career was from Australia or New Zealand and that the phenomenon of him being incorrectly identified as Australian predates the internet.
