Andrew Pugsley (born 25 July 1978) was an Australian rules footballer in the Australian Football League.

Pugsley came to Collingwood as a rookie late in 1996 from Scoreseby via Eastern U18s. His versatility as a forward, where he could play tall and small were valued, and his form in the reserves in 1997 as a goalkicker saw him elevated to the senior list for 1998. He kicked 2 goals on debut, his first 2 kicks resulted in goals, a very rare achievement. He played only 5 games, before being delisted from the club at the end of 98.

He sought a further opportunity at Richmond before finding his feet in the VFL with Box Hill, where he won a premiership in 2001 and captained the side during its longest winning streak (2003).

Known as Pugs, 'The Pug Dog' and Andrew the Animal, Pugsley has had a distinguished amateurs career, playing a leading role at the Old Scotch Football Club. While Old Scotch were mediocre in his seasons there he entertained fans and team mates with his skills and light hearted attitude on and off the field.
