Willie McAndrew (1887–1965) was a Scottish footballer and manager. He played for Queen's Park, Clyde, Third Lanark and Dundee Hibernian. During his Clyde career, he played for the club in the 1912 Scottish Cup Final and represented the Scottish League three times.[1] He served in the First World War as an army lieutenant and was held as a prisoner of war.[2]

After a spell as caretaker player-manager while with Dundee Hibs, McAndrew got his first permanent appointment as a manager with Hamilton Academical in 1925. He remained in the role for 21 years, taking the club to the 1935 Scottish Cup Final as well as a fourth place League finish in the same season. He briefly managed Dunfermline Athletic in 1947.[2]
