The 1925 Bradley Indians football team was an American football team that represented Bradley Polytechnic Institute (now known as Bradley University) during the 1925 college football season as a member of the Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (IIAC). In Alfred J. Robertson's sixth season as head coach, the team compiled a perfect record of 9–0 and shared the conference title with the Monmouth Fighting Scots. Bradley outscored its opponents 217 to 30 on the season.[1]

Key players included right halfback Eddie "Red" Bland of Taylorville, Indiana.[2] Halfback "Doc" Ranes was the team captain. Three Bradley players were selected as first-team players on the 1925 All-IIAC football team: Carlson at left end; Eugene McNaught at right guard; and Al DeCremer at left halfback.[3]
