Andy Cox (born 25 January 1956, Birmingham) is a British guitarist who, along with Dave Wakeling, founded The Beat (known in the United States as The English Beat) in 1979.

In 1985 he joined Beat bassist David Steele and singer Roland Gift in Fine Young Cannibals. In 1988, while FYC were on hiatus, Cox and Steele released the instrumental house music single "Tired of Getting Pushed Around" under the name Two Men, a Drum Machine and a Trumpet, reaching number 18 in the UK Singles Chart. By 2002 Cox formed Cribabi with Japanese singer Yukari Fujiu and released the album "Volume" on his own Fidela record label.

He is still involved with the music industry.
