Bradley Joseph (born 1965) is an American composer, arranger, and producer of contemporary instrumental music. His compositions include works for orchestras, quartets, and solo piano pieces. He has been active professionally since 1983, and has played various instruments in rock bands throughout the Midwest.

In 1989, the Greek composer Yanni hired Joseph for his band. Joseph was a concert keyboard player with Yanni on six major tours, most recently in 2003 for the 60-city Ethnicity tour. He appears in the multi-platinum album and concert film, Live at the Acropolis.

Joseph also spent five years as musical director and lead keyboardist for Sheena Easton, including a 1995 performance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Joseph is the owner of the Robbins Island Music label. His solo career began when he independently released Hear the Masses, featuring many of his Yanni bandmates. This debut was followed by Rapture, an instrumental album recorded with a 50-piece orchestra for which Joseph wrote and conducted all the scores. Released on the Narada Productions label, Rapture reached the ZMR Airwaves Top 30. Several subsequent recordings, including Christmas Around the World and One Deep Breath, also held positions on ZMR's Top 100 radio chart, the most recent being Paint the Sky, which debuted on April 4, 2013.
