Coelophrys bradburyae is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Ogcocephalidae, the deep sea batfishes. This species is found in the Western Pacific Ocean in deep waters off Japan. This species of batfish is little known and only two specimens have been collected, one in 1995 and the other more recently. Given the paucity of data on this species' biology and distribution the IUCN has assessed its conservation status to be data deficient.
