Andrew Rathbone (born 8 September 1971 in Blacon, Chester) is an English drummer and was a member of the rock band Mansun.

Rathbone was the third and final drummer in Mansun, brought in after the band had "internal conflict" with the previous two.

Rathbone was playing in a local covers band and had attracted the interests of the members of Mansun with his drumming skills and look. Originally turning the band down because he thought they played "Britpop shite", he later had a change of heart after the band played him a demo of their new song called "Wide Open Space" He joined the band shortly before their debut album Attack of the Grey Lantern was released.

His first proper gig with the band was a televised appearance on Channel 4 show TFI Friday, where the band performed "Stripper Vicar".

Since the breakup of Mansun, Rathbone has formed a new band with Jonti Thackery called "Seraphim".
