Andrew Louw (born August 18, 1987) is a Namibian cricket umpire and former international cricketer.
As a right-handed batsman and a right-arm off-break bowler, he represented the Namibian under-19 side at the 2006 Under-19 World Cup, and subsequently played a single first-class match for the senior Namibian national team, against KwaZulu-Natal Inland in 2009. After qualifying as an umpire, Louw made his first-class umpiring debut in April 2013, and has since officiated in limited-overs and Twenty20 matches.
His father, Wynand Louw, is also an umpire, and has been on the ICC Associates and Affiliates Umpire Panel since 2013. The pair officiated a 12-a-side game between Namibia A and Kenya in November 2014, and also stood together in a 20-over match between Namibia and Hong Kong in May 2015, which had full Twenty20 status.
On 20 May 2019, he stood in his first Twenty20 International (T20I) match, between Kenya and Nigeria in Regional Finals of the 2018–19 ICC T20 World Cup Africa Qualifier tournament in Uganda.
