Douglas William Bradley (born 7 September 1954) is an English actor. He is well known for playing the role of the Cenobite Pinhead in all eight Hellraiser films, as well as the character of Captain Elliot Spenser in two of the films Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988) and Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992).

Bradley has appeared in an advert for direct line insurance in the UK (as a gym teacher) appearing on everything from T.V, the backs of buses, in tube stations and internet adverts. He has performed narrations on several songs by Cradle of Filth, an English extreme metal band. The first was 2000s "Her Ghost in the Fog" (as well as "Death Magick For Adepts" and "Tortured Soul Asylum"), however he could not appear in the music video and was replaced by actor David McEwen who would play the character of Kemper in Cradle of Fear. Bradley also appeared on its sequel - "Swansong For A Raven" (as well as the album intro "Satyriasis"). In 2006, he lent his narrations to "Rise of the Pentagram" and "Tonight In Flames". Continuing in this vein, Bradley has contributed guest vocals to Cradle of Filth's 2008 album, Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder, on most songs excluding "Tragic Kingdom". He seems to be playing the role of Giles de Rais, the person on which the album's concept is based.
Bradley has appeared in a lot of horror shorts including Red Lines and On Edge. He is also a member of UK animation company Renga Media, makers of the independent British CGI 'Dominator' movies and shorts, dividing job roles between producer and voice actor.
