Brad Tessmann (born 9 February 1960 in Kingaroy, Queensland) is an Australian former professional rugby league player.
He played in Souths' loss to Wynnum-Manly in the 1982 Brisbane Rugby League premiership's grand final. Tessmann's sole Test appearance was in Australia's 19–12 loss to New Zealand while playing for Brisbane Souths in 1983. A hard-working forward, he played in Queensland's victorious State of Origin side that year and his success at international level earned him a contract with Easts in 1985. He was a representative in the Oceania side that played in France in 1984 but his move to Sydney was short-lived. He spent the second half of the 1987 season out of the game with a knee injury and in 1988 Tessmann returned to Brisbane to play for the Broncos in the club's debut season.
Tessmann is currently chairman of the Central Australian Rugby Football League, based in Alice Springs, Northern Territory.
