Bradley ("Brad") Cooper (born June 30, 1957) is a retired discus thrower and shot putter from the Bahamas. He competed for his native country in two consecutive Summer Olympics, starting in 1984. Cooper set his personal best (67.10 m) in the discus event on 1986-06-14 in Nassau.

In 1978, his junior year, Cooper won All-America honors when he finished fourth in the NCAA discus with a throw of 189'. The mark was an FSU school record and a Bahamian national record. The next year he won the NCAA championship in the discus with an NCAA record throw of 212'6" making him FSU's first NCAA record holder in track and field. He later served as Minister of Recreation for the Bahamas.
