Andrew Dallas Duffey (December 16, 1842 – June 24, 1919) served in the California State Assembly in the early 20th century for the 54th district.

Duffey was born in the Province of Canada, British North America.[1][2] As of 1884, he was a member of the Odd Fellows in Santa Cruz.[3]

It was initially unclear whether Duffey had won the 1902 election against his opponent Harry S. Wanzer. A committee of the legislature later determined that Wanzer had won the election.[4] A report at the time stated that the vote was on "straight party" lines.[5] Wanzer, although he was declared the winner and took his seat on February 10, 1903, resigned just a month later, on March 16, 1903.[6]

Representing Assembly District 54, he was a member of the Democratic Party and won re-election in 1912.[7]
