Bradley James Thomas, OAM, (born 1 April 1967) was an Australian Paralympic Athlete who competed in three Paralympic competitions between 1988 and 1996 in an athletic career that spanned 15 years. Thomas was born in Hobart, the capital city of Tasmania. He completed high school from Rosny College, a secondary school located in Hobart, in which he attended the school from 1981 to 1983.

Thomas' Paralympic career became official, with his debut at the 1988 Seoul Paralympic Games and he competed in many different classification events as Paralympic athletes compete against other classes with similar disabilities. Thomas' classification fell into the T44 (classification), as classified by the International Paralympic Committee, which is athletes with mild limb loss, muscle weakness or restrictions in the legs who don't use any prosthetics. The Seoul Summer Paralympics marked the first time in 24 years where the Paralympics took place in the same venue as the Olympics. It took place from 15 to 24 October 1988 and saw 3,041 Para Athletes, 2,370 men and 671 women from 60 countries competed at these Paralympics which at the time was a record attendance.
