Christoffer Andersen aka Kid Andersen (born 1980) is a Norwegian blues guitarist. Andersen moved to the United States as a 21 year old in 2001 and soon became a figure to speak of on the west coast blues scene. He played in Charlie Musselwhites band and got a Handy Award for best contemporary blues album for Charlie Musselwhites Delta Hardware album. When Little Charlie Baty retired from touring, Andersen took his place as guitarist in the Nightcats and the new name of Rick Estrin & the Nightcats was formed.

Andersen also has done extensive touring with Elvin Bishop on the Red Dog Speaks Tour.
