Andrew Cross (born 13 April 1961) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda, Fitzroy and Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL). [1]

Cross, a rover, was recruited locally and made his league debut in 1979. He appeared just twice in 1980 and then didn't play senior VFL football in either of the next two seasons.[2] When he returned in 1983, he played the best football of his career, averaging 20 disposals and kicking 14 goals from his eight games.[2] The following year he made more regular appearances, playing 15 games.[2]

He finished his career with one seasons stints at both Fitzroy and Richmond.[2] At Fitzroy, he missed just three games all year and then crossed to Richmond.[2] Despite commanding a high transfer fee, he played just once for his new club.[3]

Cross also played for VFA club Frankston under the coaching of Jeff Sarau.
