Andy Chiodo (born April 25, 1983, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada) is a professional ice hockey goaltender. He was originally selected by the New York Islanders in the sixth round, 166th overall, of the 2001 NHL Entry Draft. The Islanders were unable to sign him, however, and he was made draft-eligible again for the 2003 NHL Entry Draft. The Pittsburgh Penguins chose him in that draft, 199th overall in the seventh round.
Prior to playing in the Ontario Hockey League, Chiodo played with the Wexford Raiders of the Ontario Provincial Junior A Hockey League. After playing three seasons in the Ontario Hockey League with the Toronto St. Michael's Majors, Chiodo made his professional debut with Pittsburgh's AHL affiliate, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, in the 2003–04 season. He also appeared in eight NHL games with Pittsburgh that season.
Chiodo has spent most of his professional career with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and with Pittsburgh's ECHL affiliate, the Wheeling Nailers. He signed with Kärpät in the Finnish SM-liiga for the 2006–07 season, but was sidelined with an injury for most of the autumn. Kärpät released Chiodo from his contract in November, and he signed with Jokerit for a one-month tryout, making his SM-liiga debut on November 16 against HIFK. After only two games, he was injured again. At the SM-liiga trade deadline in January, he signed with HPK. He currently played for Kärpät.
