Mary Bradshaw (died 1780) was a British stage actress at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane for 37 years.

[2] In 1760[3] she was the first person to play the nurse in Polly Honeycombe and this became "her part" appearing in that role when it was put on.

Samuel De Wilde reproduced a portrait of Bradshaw by extracting the figure from Zoffany's painting.
