Bradley Barlow Smalley (November 26, 1835 – November 6, 1909) was an American politician who served in the Vermont House of Representatives for two terms and on the Burlington Board of Aldermen. He was the Collector of the Port of Burlington from 1885 to 1889, and 1893 to 1897, and was a member of the Democratic National Committee from 1875 to 1908.
Smalley was born in Jericho, Vermont, the son of David Allen Smalley. He became a court clerk in 1861, was admitted to the bar in 1863, and was a founding member of the Vermont Bar Association. During the American Civil War he worked as an aide-de-camp under Governor Frederick Holbrook. Heavily involved in the activities of the Vermont Democratic Party, Smalley was Vermont's member to the DNC and attended four Democratic National Conventions. He unsuccessfully sought the positions of speaker, United States Senator, and Governor of Vermont.
