Bradbury Wilkinson & Co was a prominent English firm specializing in the engraving and printing of banknotes, postage stamps, and share certificates. Founded in the 1850s by Henry Bradbury, the company began printing banknotes in 1856. After Bradbury's death in 1860, the firm continued to grow. In 1873–74, they constructed an impressive six-story workshop for engraving printing plates at 25 and 27 Farringdon Road, Holborn, London, a building now recognized as Grade II-listed.

The company was responsible for printing the inaugural series of banknotes for the Imperial Bank of Persia, which were issued in 1890. In 1903, Bradbury Wilkinson & Co was acquired by the American Bank Note Company (ABNC). The firm relocated to New Malden, Surrey, in 1917, continuing to operate under the Bradbury-Wilkinson name as a wholly owned subsidiary of ABNC.
