Andreas Aagaard Kiønig (1771 - 1856) was a Norwegian judge and politician.

He was born in Grue, and graduated as cand.jur. in 1790.[1]

He was elected to the Norwegian Constituent Assembly in 1814, representing the constituency of Hedemarkens Amt.[2] At that time he worked as a district stipendiary magistrate (sorenskriver) in Østerdalen.[3]

He was then appointed Supreme Court Assessor the same year. In 1836, when appointment of a new Chief Justice was due, Kiønig was a candidate,[3] but the position was given to Georg Jacob Bull. As a result, Kiønig retired as a Supreme Court Assessor.[3]
