Bradpole is a village in the civil parish of Bridport, in south west Dorset, England, in the Brit valley, outside Bridport. In the 2011 census the population of the parish was 2,339.

In 1651 Charles II passed through Bradpole in his efforts to evade capture after he failed to sail to France from Charmouth following his defeat at the Battle of Worcester. An inscribed stone in the south of the parish, where Lee Lane meets the A35 trunk road between Bridport and Dorchester, marks the place where he took a turning off the main road to escape from his pursuers.
