Albert Walker McAndrew (1920–2009) was an Australian rugby league player who played in the 1930s and 1940s. He was a state representative half-back who won the 1941 premiership with St George.
"Albie" McAndrew was still seventeen when he debuted in first-grade for St George in 1938. He played eight seasons with St George between 1938 and 1945.
He was a member of the first St. George side to win a premiership in 1941. He represented New South Wales in 1940, and played for NSW City Firsts in 1940 and 1943.[3]
His representative career was interrupted by World War II when, in 1942, he enlisted in the 54th Australian Anti-Aircraft Regiment with the rank Bombardier.[1]
McAndrew died on 9 December 2009, aged 89.[4]
