Braden Mitchel Schram (born December 1, 1992) is a Canadian former professional football offensive lineman who played for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League (CFL).

Early career Schram attended Paul Rowe High School in Manning, Alberta, but since the school did not have a football program, he played at Peace River High for the Pioneers. Following graduation, he moved on to play U Sports football with the Calgary Dinos from 2013 to 2016.

Hamilton Tiger-Cats Schram was ranked as the 16th best player available in the 2017 CFL draft by the CFL's Central Scouting Bureau.

He dressed in his first professional game on August 12, 2017 against the Winnipeg Blue Bombers while spending the rest of the 2017 season on the reserve roster and practice roster. In 2018, he spent the first two games of the season on the injured list before being released on June 28, 2018, reportedly due to the depth that the team had at his position.
