Dennis Allene Bradshaw (born August 14, 1936) is an American former tennis player.

A native of San Diego, Bradshaw won the singles title at the Delaware Grass Court Championships in 1954.[1]

Bradshaw has the unusual distinction of reaching the quarter-finals the only time she appeared in a grand slam tournament, at the 1954 U.S. National Championships. Following a walkover win over fourth-seed Margaret duPont in the third round, she lost her final eight match to Darlene Hard in three sets.[2]

In 1955 she represented the United States at the Pan American Games in Mexico.[3]
