Bradley Winslow (August 1, 1831 – October 24, 1914) was an American soldier, politician and lawyer who served as colonel of the 186th New York Regiment from 1864 to 1865 during the American Civil War. Winslow was also a member of the New York State Senate in 1880, and mayor of Watertown, New York, in 1875.

Winslow fought in the Northern Virginia campaign in 1862 as a lieutenant colonel, and was promoted to colonel in September 1864. During his time as colonel, he assisted the Union Army in capturing forts during the Siege of Petersburg, and was discharged in June 1865 after suffering a gunshot wound. Winslow was given a brevet by Abraham Lincoln on April 9, 1865, for "brave and gallant conduct" during the siege.
