Brad Scott Karp (born July 25, 1959) is an American lawyer and a litigation partner at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison. He was the chairman of Paul, Weiss from 2008 until his resignation in 2026.

Karp is also a bundler for Democratic Party presidential candidates in the United States, having raised sums for the presidential campaigns of Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Joe Biden, Amy Klobuchar, and others. In 2025, Karp quickly settled with the second Donald Trump administration when Trump made threats against law firms perceived to be associated with his political opponents.

In January 2026, newly unsealed documents showed that Karp was a correspondent of child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He stepped down from his position as chairman of Paul, Weiss on February 4, 2026, after the correspondence with Epstein became public.
