The 2010–11 Bradford City A.F.C. season was the 108th edition of the Bradford City A.F.C. history, their 96th in the Football League and 98th in the league system of English football. Their 2009–10 14th-place finish made the season their fourth successive season in League Two.
This article covers a period from 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2011.
They began their season with a defeat away at Shrewsbury Town. They then provided a shock during the League cup beating Championship side Nottingham Forest. They marked their first home league game of the season with a win over Stevenage F.C. The season then continued to be disappointing, eventually resulting in manager Peter Taylor leaving the club, with Peter Jackson taking charge as interim manager. The situation did not improve however, as the club slipped to its lowest league finish for many years. They ended the season with a 5–1 home defeat to Crewe. Interim manager Peter Jackson subsequently decided on a retained list, with 9 players released.
