The Bradford Smith Building was a historic building at 1927-1941 Purchase Street in New Bedford, Massachusetts. It was a 3-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a double-gabled roof and a stone and brick foundation. It was built in 1887 by Bradford Smith, a retired employee of the Taunton-New Bedford Copper Company, and housed retail space on the first floor and apartments above.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, and was included in the Acushnet Heights Historic District in 1989. It underwent a certified rehabilitation for use as senior housing in 1985. It has since been demolished.
