Mark Hudson's first-half header ensured 10-man Huddersfield ended Bradford's unbeaten home record at Valley Parade.
Hudson met Gary Taylor-Fletcher's right-wing cross after 25 minutes to settle a feisty west Yorkshire derby.
Referee Keith Hill made seven bookings and dismissed Huddersfield's Danny Adams after 72 minutes for a second yellow after he fouled Nathan Doyle.
It took a fine save from Matt Glennon to deny Bradford substitute Eddie Johnson to seal the Terriers' win.
