Andy Whelan was a footballer from County Laois.

He was a native of the Kildare border village of Jamestown, near Ballybrittas.

He played as goalkeeper when Laois won the Leinster Senior Football Championship final against Kildare in 1946.[1]

Laois didn't win the Leinster Senior Football Championship again until 2003 when Mick O'Dwyer led them to victory and another Ballybrittas native, Fergal Byron was goalkeeper.
