Andrew Considine (born April 1, 1987 in Aberdeen) is a Scottish football central defender currently playing for Scottish Premier League club Aberdeen Football Club. Considine made his professional debut in May 2004 in a 2–1 defeat to Dundee and has gone to make numerous appearances in the Aberdeen first team.

A composed left-footer on the ball, he is touted by fans and Aberdeen technical staff alike as being a bright prospect for the future of the club, although his defensive ability is very questionable as is his vision and general gameplay. This has been attributed to a lack of experience and continues to improve, however.

Considine is the son of former Aberdeen defender Doug Considine. He scored his first goals for Aberdeen against St. Mirren on January 27, 2007.In Aberdeen's season 2007–2008, Andrew scored one goal in the CIS Insurance Cup against Partick Thistle. And on 12 April 2008 Andrew scored two goals in the Scottish Cup for the first time; however his two goals could not prevent Aberdeen losing to Division 1 side Queen of the South. Considine signed a new 4-year deal with the club after impressing with some good performances early in the season.
