Andrew Johnston (26 February 1916 — 12 April 1993) was a Scottish first-class cricketer.
Johnston was born at Linlithgow in February 1916, where he was educated at the Linlithgow Academy. A club cricketer for Kilmarnock and West Lothian Cricket Club's, Johnston made two appearances in first-class cricket for Scotland on two separate tours of England. The first came against Warwickshire at Edgbaston in 1947, with the second coming against Yorkshire at Scarborough in 1951.[1] He scored 82 runs in his two matches,[2] with a highest score of 50 not out against Yorkshire.[3] With his off break bowling, he took 3 wickets with best figures of 2 for 30.[4] Outside of cricket, he was employed as a clerk.[5] Johnston died suddenly at his Kilmarnock residence in April 1993.[6]
