Andy Dawson (born October 20, 1978 in Northallerton) is a professional footballer currently playing for Hull City.

Dawson is a defender who joined Hull City on 16 May 2003 on a free transfer from Scunthorpe United. He is the elder brother of Michael Dawson (currently at Tottenham Hotspur) and Kevin Dawson (formerly of Chesterfield F.C.). Like his brothers, Andy started his professional career at Nottingham Forest, but he made only one senior appearance for them before moving to Scunthorpe.

He was Manager Peter Taylor's first choice at left-back during the two promotion seasons 2003-04 and 2004-05, and played regularly in the Championship in 2005-06 until picking up an injury. He is renowned for his long-range shots, particularly from free-kicks.
