Andy Blair (born 18 December 1959 in Kirkcaldy) is a Scottish former professional footballer, who spent his career in English football.

Blair made his league debut for fc|Coventry City, whom he had joined as an apprentice, on 28 October 1978 in a 2-1 win against fc|Birmingham City. He also played top-flight football at fc|Aston Villa (in two separate spells) and fc|Sheffield Wednesday, respectively, and on loan at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
