The 1926 Bradley Indians football team was an American football team that represented Bradley Polytechnic Institute (now known as Bradley University) during the 1926 college football season as a member of the Illinois Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (IIAC). In Alfred J. Robertson's seventh season as head coach, the team compiled a perfect record of 9–0 for second consecutive year and shared the conference title with the Monmouth Fighting Scots, as it did in 1925. Bradley finished the season on a 24-game winning streak dating back to a loss to Lombard on October 17, 1924.
Fullback Francis Pope was the team's captain. Four Bradley players received first-team honors on the 1926 All-IIAC football team: Pope at fullback; Al DeCremer at left halfback; Carlson at right end; and Becker at left end.
