Josephine Bradley MBE (24 March 1893 – 16 February 1985) was a ballroom dancer and dance teacher.
Although born in Dublin, she was raised from an early age in London, the youngest of eight children.
Bradley was among the first ballroom dance professionals of the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) who standardised the basic techniques of foxtrot, tango, quickstep and waltz.
These are the English ballroom dances of what is now the World Dance Council's International Dancesport category.
For her activities she had earned herself an informal title "The First Lady of the Ballroom".
