Andrew MacNish (born 9 November 1965) is former Australian rules footballer who played with the West Coast Eagles and Geelong in the VFL/AFL.

MacNish was a Western Australian and his early football was played with Subiaco. He represented his state in the 1986 State of Origin Carnival where he impressed enough to be included in the All-Australian team, performing particularly well in the Sandgroper's 137 to 134 win against Victoria.

West Coast recruited MacNish for their inaugural season in 1987 and he kicked three goals on debut in the opening round against Richmond at Subiaco Oval. On the same ground in round 22 he kicked a career best five goals in a convincing win over St Kilda. After not playing a game for West Coast in 1988 he returned to action the following year but it would be his last season for the club. He finished his AFL career in Victoria with Geelong in 1992 but could only manage three appearances for the seniors, all towards the end of the season but he did kick five goals in his game against Brisbane.
