Bradley Mitchell Silberling (born September 8, 1963 in Washington, D.C., United States) is an American television and film director. He is married to the actress Amy Brenneman, whom he met on the set of NYPD Blue and with whom he has two children, Charlotte Tucker (born March 2001) and Bodhi Russell (born June 2005).

Silberling studied film directing at the UCLA Film School. He managed to start his career within the entertainment industry before completing his studies. In 1986 he got a job as a production assistant for a children's television program. From there he progressed to direct episodes of major television series and, eventually, films.

He was dating actress Rebecca Schaeffer at the time of her murder, in 1989, by an obsessed fan. Her death would serve as the inspiration for Silberling's 2002 fictional film Moonlight Mile.

In 2006, Silberling's movie 10 Items or Less was the first movie in history to be made legally available for download while it was still in theaters. This was made possible through ClickStar and Brad's close relationship with owners Morgan Freeman and Lori McCreary.
