Andrew McKay (born 14 July 1970) is a former professional Australian rules footballer who played for Carlton in the AFL and Glenelg in the SANFL.

Having played junior football for Lucindale in country South Australia, McKay began his senior career with Glenelg, where he finished runner-up in the Magarey Medal in 1992 behind Nathan Buckley, before being drafted by Carlton in the first round of the 1992 national draft. McKay played all 23 games in his first year at the Blues, and was named on a half-back flank in the All-Australian side. After playing in Carlton's premiership side in 1995, McKay spent the 1996 season in Brisbane, studying veterinary science at the University of Queensland and commuting to Melbourne for games. Returning to Victoria full-time in 1997, he was named in the All-Australian side three consecutive times between 1999 and 2001 and captained the Blues in 2003, a year in which he also won the club's best and fairest. He retired at the end of that season, having played 244 games for the Blues.

McKay served as chairman of the AFL Tribunal from 2007 to 2009, and spent seven years as the general manager of football operations at Carlton until standing down following the 2018 season. His daughter Abbie McKay was drafted by Carlton in the 2018 AFLW National Draft, making her the first father-daughter selection in the competition's history.
