Maiden Bradley is a village in south-west Wiltshire, England, about 6 miles (10 km) south-west of Warminster and bordering the county of Somerset. The B3092 road between Frome and Mere forms the village street. Bradley House, the seat of the Duke of Somerset, is adjacent to the village.

Maiden Bradley is the principal settlement in the civil parish of Maiden Bradley with Yarnfield. The parish is in the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and was one of the clearings in the former Selwood Forest. In the north-west the parish includes the hamlet of Gare Hill, but most dwellings there are in Trudoxhill parish, Somerset.[2]
