Josef Bradl (nicknamed Sepp, January 8, 1918-March 3, 1982) was an Austrian ski jumper who competed during the 1930's and 1950's. He won the ski jumping gold medal at the 1939 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Zakopane while competing under Nazi Germany in the wake of Austria being annexed in late 1938.
Following World War II, Bradl returned to compeition in the early 1950's and was the first winner of the Four Hills Tournament in 1952/53, this time representing his home country of Austria. He would earn one of his post-World War 2 victories at the Olympia hill in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, West Germany in 1953 as part of the Four Hills tournament, then earn his final career victory the following year in Bischofshofen, Austria.
