Andrew McFarlane (21 June 1899 – 14 June 1972) was an Irish cricketer. McFarlane was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm off break. He was born at Sion Mills, United Kingdom (today Northern Ireland). He was educated at the Sion Mills Public Elementary School.[1]

Following success in club cricket, McFarlane was selected to play in Ireland's first-class match against Scotland in 1937 at Ormeau, Belfast.[2] Batting at number six, he was dismissed for a duck by John Farquhar in the Irish first-innings. In their second-innings he scored 21 runs before being dismissed by Alexander Paris.[3] This was his only major appearance for Ireland.

Outside of cricket he was employed as a textile worker.[1] He died at Derry, Northern Ireland on 14 June 1972.
