The Bradford riots were a brief period of violent rioting which began on 7 July 2001, in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. They occurred as a result of heightened tension between the large and growing British Asian communities and the confrontation between the left wing Anti-Nazi League (ANL) and far-right groups such as the British National Party (BNP) and the National Front (NF). Similar ethnic riots had occurred earlier in other parts of Northern England, such as Oldham in May and Burnley in June.
