Ian David Russell Bradshaw (born 9 July 1974) is a former Barbadian cricketer who played for the West Indies cricket team as a left-arm fast bowler. A former West Indies under-19s and Barbados captain, he was a notable member of the West Indies team that won the 2004 Champions Trophy, being named man of the match in the tournament's final, and scored the winning boundary.

Bradshaw skippered the side for six games on their way to win the 2000–01 Busta Cup, Barbados' 17th first class title. He later picked up six wickets in the 2004 Carib Beer Cup Challenge final, which Barbados won against Jamaica.
In January 2004, Bradshaw was named in West Indies' 15-man ODI squad for the upcoming one day series against South Africa. This came as Bradshaw took five wickets for 22 runs to be named Man of the Match in the 2004 Red Stripe Bowl semi-final.
Bradshaw was kept in the side for the 2004 7 match ODI series, against England. He wasn't selected for the series' first four games, then took two wickets as the Windies won the fifth match by five wickets at Saint Lucia's Beausejour Stadium. This was Bradshaw's first game for the West Indies in the Caribbean He ended up being tied with Andrew Flintoff, with five wickets, as the second highest wicket taker in the series.
Bradshaw was retained for the three-match series with Bangladesh. He won the Man of the Match award in the first ODI with figures of 2 for 11 off 10 overs and scoring 12 not out at the end as the Windies won by one wicket. He eventually claimed four wickets at an average of 9.60 for the series, ending up as the' third highest wicket taker behind Tino Best and Tapash Baisya.
West Indies played 11 ODIs in England in 2004, and Bradshaw played in every single one save for a rained off match at Southampton against New Zealand. The first seven matches were during the NatWest Series, where West Indies finished second after losing the final by 107 runs. Bradshaw opened with no wickets in a no result against New Zealand, then removed both England openers with his first seven balls at Trent Bridge in a seven-wicket win, before failing to take a wicket through the 32 overs in the remaining four matches. Bradshaw's bowling average of 85.50 was the highest by any West Indian in the series, but his economy rate of 3.71 was the best by a West Indian, and only beaten by Chris Cairns among bowlers with more than 10 overs in the tournament.
Bradshaw was retained for the 2004 Champions Trophy, taking three wickets in the opening group, which West Indies won by beating Bangladesh and South Africa. He also removed Salman Butt for a two-ball duck in the seven-wicket semi-final win over Pakistan.
