Maiden Bradley is a village in southwest Wiltshire, England, about 6 miles (10 km) southwest of Warminster and bordering the county of Somerset. The B3092 road between Frome and Mere forms the village street. Bradley House, the seat of the Duke of Somerset, is adjacent to the village.

Maiden Bradley is the principal settlement in the current civil parish of Maiden Bradley with Yarnfield which had a population of 331 in the UK census of 2011. The parish is in the Cranborne Chase and was one of the clearings in the former Selwood Forest. In the northwest, the parish includes the hamlet of Gare Hill, although most dwellings there are in Trudoxhill parish, Somerset. [Gare Hill has been redirected to Trudoxhill].

Part of the parish, that named Yarnfield, was in Somerset until 1895.
