The 1938 Bradley Tech Braves football team was an American football team that represented Bradley Polytechnic Institute (now known as Bradley University) as a member of the Illinois College Conference during the 1938 college football season. In their 18th season under head coach Alfred J. Robertson, the Braves compiled a 7–0–1 record (4–0 against ICC opponents), tied with Lake Forest for the ICC championship, shut out five of eight opponents, and outscored all opponents by a total of 173 to 19.

Halfback Ted Panish was selected by the Associated Press as a first-team player on the 1938 Little All-America college football team. Four Bradley Tech players (Panish, end Virgil Van Cleave, guard Charley Gross, and back Jim Molnar) received first-team honors on the Illinois College Conference all-star team selected by the coaches for the Associated Press. Three others received second-team honors.
