Sir Evelyn Ridley Bradford, 2nd Baronet (16 April 1869 – 14 September 1914) was an English cricketer and an officer in the British Army.

The son of Sir Edward Bradford, he was born in British India at Goonah in April 1869, where his father served as a political agent.

[7] Military duties then interrupted his participation in county cricket, with Bradford serving as part of the International Squadron which occupied Crete in 1897.

[6] The legitimacy of his bowling action was called into question several times, resulting in him being no-balled, most notably by umpires Harry Pickett and Archibald White against the Australians.

[9] In January 1900, he was transferred back as a regular captain in the 2nd Battalion of his regiment,[10] and early the following month embarked aboard the troopship SS Canada leaving Southampton for South Africa, where he was to serve in the Second Boer War.

[1] He was killed in action during the First Battle of the Aisne by shrapnel from a shell impact near Bucy-le-Long in Picardy on 14 September 1914; his body was recovered and subsequently buried at the Crouy-Vauxrot French National Cemetery.
