Calvin Hyden Andrew (born 19 December 1986 in Luton, Bedfordshire) is an English footballer, who plays as a striker for Crystal Palace.

Andrew began his career at Luton Town, signing for the Hatters' academy in 2004.

Andrew has enjoyed loan spells at Grimsby Town and Bristol City. At Grimsby, Andrew played five times, scoring once whilst at Bristol City, his fortunes changed for the worse, only starting one match without scoring.

Nevertheless, these loan spells helped Andrew develop as a player, and he returned to feature in Luton's 2005-06 campaign. A knee ligament injury prevented him from featuring much in the Hatters' ill-fated 2006-07 season that saw them relegated from The Championship, and he only returned as the season reached its conclusion, with the Hatters looking doomed already.

He played most of their 2007-08 campaign, as points deductions for financial irregularities led to massive problems on and off the field at Kenilworth Road, and the club were relegated again as a result. Luton were deducted a record 30 points from their 2008-09 season haul, making a third relegation almost certain. With this is mind, the Hatters needed to free-up their wage bill and reduce further debt, and decided to sell Andrew once their appeal was rejected, with him moving to Crystal Palace in the summer of 2008.
