Andrey Slavov Toshev (Bulgarian: Андрей Славов Тошев) (16 April 1867, Stara Zagora - 10 January 1944) was Prime Minister of Bulgaria in 1935. He was also a Bulgarian scientist and a diplomat.
Appointed by Tsar Boris III, Toshev was chosen for his unflinching loyalty in the uncertainty following the military coup of Zveno in 1934. He headed a purely civilian cabinet after a period of military rule and was in effect a puppet of the Tsar.[1] His Premiership proved short-lived when the elections of November 1935 were won by Georgi Kyoseivanov.
Toshev also served in diplomatic roles as the Bulgarian ambassador to Serbia from 1909 to 1913, in which capacity he helped bring about the formation of the Balkan League, and also as the Bulgarian ambassador to Constantinople from 1913 to 1914.
