Andrei Drevin (Russian: Андрей Александрович Древин; August 26, 1921 — April 7, 1996) was Russian sculptor. His parents were prominent Russian painters Nadezhda Udaltsova и Aleksandr Drevin.

As his father was executed by the NKVD in 1938 and his mother became a persona non grata in the world of Soviet art, Andrei Drevin had found it difficult to establish himself as an artist. However he overcame and was well known in Moscow due to his monument to Ivan Krylov which was erected near Patriarshiye Ponds.
