Andrew is a station on the rapid transit Red Line at Dorchester Avenue at Andrew Square, by Southampton Street, Dorchester Street, and Boston Street in South Boston, Massachusetts. Andrew Station is the prime cross connection point between the Red Line Subway and the MBTA surface bus routes into South Boston.

After political requests and lobbying efforts by the local community, the Andrew Station underwent extensive renovation from 1991 to 1993 with a new bus shed and underground connections. The station includes the "Andrew Station Time Capsule", a public art installation by Ross Miller of 14 stainless steel boxes suspended over the tracks containing items collected from riders during station renovation in 1993. Boxes to be opened in 2068. The restored original wood frame toll taker's booth from the 1920s is installed as a permanent display in the inbound-outbound cross over lobby.
