Robert MacNevin Bradshaw (27 May 1861 – 23 December 1907) was an Irish international rugby union player.
Born in Gorey, County Wexford, Bradshaw was described as a "middle-weight forward of great pace and dash" by Dublin newspaper Sport, and was said to be particularly injury prone.[1] He played his rugby for Wanderers in Dublin and captained the club to the 1885 Leinster Senior Cup title. His three Ireland appearances also came in 1885. He served as club president of Wanderers and founded their clubhouse on South Frederick Street.[2]
Bradshaw ran a land agency business in Dublin.[3]
