Andrew Greenwood (born 20 August 1847 in Huddersfield, Yorkshire; died 12 February 1889 in Huddersfield, Yorkshire) played in the first two cricket Tests. Greenwood was small in height, but a gutsy batsman, who was also noted for his fielding in the deep.

Greenwood, who was a professional cricketer, played his first-class cricket for Yorkshire from 1869 to 1880, but is noted most for going on tour to Australia with James Lillywhite's team in 1876-77. He played in both matches against Combined Australian teams, games which were later recognised as the first two Test matches.
