Bradley Laurent Barcola (born 2 September 2002) is a French professional footballer who plays as a forward or winger for Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain and the France national team.

In 2023, he signed for Paris Saint-Germain for a €45 million transfer fee, going on to win a domestic treble in his first season at the club.
