Andrew Pagett (born 25 April 1982) is a Welsh professional snooker player.

He became a professional in 2003, and first qualified for the Main Tour in 2008/2009, but lost his place after just one season. He regained his place for the 2010/2011 season by topping the Welsh rankings. He is a practice partner of Mark Williams.

Pagett qualified for the 2011 World Snooker Championship after winning four qualifying matches. He knocked out Zhang Anda, Bjorn Haneveer and Nigel Bond, before beating Andrew Higginson 10–6 to qualify for the final stages of a major event for the first time,[2] where he was defeated 10–7 by Jamie Cope.

Pagett lives in Blackwood, Caerphilly, and is a father-of-two.[1]
