Timothy Andrew Drew (born August 31, 1978 in Valdosta, Georgia) is a former American Major League Baseball player.

The brother of MLB players J. D. Drew and Stephen Drew, Tim was a pitcher who played for the Cleveland Indians (by|2000-by|2001), Montreal Expos (by|2002-by|2003), and Atlanta Braves (by|2004). [cite web|url=http://www.baseball-reference.com/d/drewti01.shtml|title= Baseball Reference-Tim Drew Statistics|accessdate=2008-06-08] Once considered one of the top pitching prospects of a generation, Drew was a part of the then-controversial trade between the Expos and Indians, being traded to the Expos, along with Bartolo Colon in exchange for Grady Sizemore, Cliff Lee, Brandon Phillips and Lee Stevens.

Drew signed with the Bridgeport Bluefish of the independent Atlantic League for the by|2008 season. On July 29, 2008, Drew announced his retirement from professional baseball [cite web|url=http://www.atlanticleague.com/cgi-bin/dist/news.cgi?id=1217354669|title= Bluefish Starter Drew Retires|accessdate=2008-07-30] after going 3-3 with a 7.46 ERA for Bridgeport in 13 games.
