Andy Nyman (born 1966) is an English actor.

Nyman first came to note with his performance as a hard nosed director in Musical! and then as Keith Whitehead in the cult film of the Martin Amis novel, "Dead Babies". He has played lead roles in Jon Avnet's Emmy award winning film "Uprising" (NBC) as a Polish freedom fighter and in "Coney Island Baby" as a gay French gun dealer. Most recently he played Gordon in the cult hit "Severance".

Nyman currently has four films due for release over the next 18 months: London-based romantic comedy "Are You Ready for Love?"; a bio-pic of 70s Dutch rock group Herman Brood, "Wild Romance"; and improvised gangster thriller "Played" where he stars opposite Val Kilmer and Gabriel Byrne. Nyman appeared as one of the leads in the latest Frank Oz movie, "Death At a Funeral". He stars opposite Matthew Macfadyen, Ewen Bremner, and Keeley Hawes. The movie was released by MGM in 2007.

Nyman is also a magician and the co-creator and co-writer of the Derren Brown TV show. He and Brown wrote "Russian Roulette", "Séance", and "Messiah", as well as three series of the "Trick of the Mind" series. He also co-wrote and directed both of Brown's stage shows, both of which have toured and played the West End. For "Something Wicked This Way Comes" they were awarded the 2005 Olivier Award for Best Entertainment.

Nyman won the award for best actor at the 2006 Cherbourg-Octeville Festival of Irish & British Film for his role as Colin Frampton in "Shut Up and Shoot Me". He was nominated for Lew Grade Award at the 2007 BAFTA Awards for his work on "Derren Brown: The Heist". He shared the nomination with fellow collaborators Derren Brown, Simon Mills, and Ben Caron.
