Bradwall (#4 on map) is a small village and civil parish located since 2009 in the unitary authority of Cheshire East in Cheshire, England. It is located about 2 mi (3.2 km) northwest of Sandbach, and about 20 mi (32 km) south of Manchester. According to the 2011 UK census, the population of the entire parish was 182. The area is predominantly agricultural, with no manufacturing or retail outlets at present.

The village is not mentioned in the 11th-century Domesday survey, but from the 13th century gained notability as the manorial estate of Richard de Bradwall and his successors, including the families of Venables, Berington and Oldfield. From the early 19th century, it became the seat of the Latham family of Bradwall who resided at Bradwall Hall until its demolition in the early 20th century.

The manufacturer of Foden Trucks and their award-winning Fodens Motor Works Band, were based in the village of Elworth in Bradwall parish until a significant boundary change in 1936 placed Elworth and Marsh Green in the adjacent parish of Sandbach. Further hamlets in the parish were Lower Daleacre and Hollinsgreen.
