Andrew Findlay (1899 – 1976) was a Scottish footballer who played as a right back, primarily for St Mirren.

Joining the Paisley club after serving in the Royal Navy during World War I,[2] over seven seasons he made 246 appearances in major competitions (without scoring)[3][2] and was in the team which won the Scottish Cup in 1926.[4][5][6] He was offered a benefit match against a 'Scottish Select' in 1928,[7][2] but by the following year he had lost his place to understudy Walter Hay, and moved on to Dundee United for a short spell.[8][9]
